Native Land is a 1942 film directed by Leo Hurwitz and Paul Strand, narrated by Paul Robeson. With Robeson not appearing on screen but singing and narrating off-screen, this combination of a documentary format and staged reenactments depicts the struggle for human rights in the 1930s against those who would deny them----the captains of industry and their hired goons and strikebreakers, and the Ku Klux Klan.
