| - Policing the Plains was a Canadian silent feature film produced in the years 1924-1927 by Vancouver filmmaker Arthur David "Cowboy" Kean (1882-1961) . It was an historical docudrama about the Royal North-West Mounted Police (later the Royal Canadian Mounted Police), based on the 1921 book of the same name by Rev. R. G. MacBeth, a Vancouver minister and well-known popular historian. Director A. D. Kean believed in the ideal of a Canadian film industry that would celebrate Canadian and British history, values, and institutions. He also intended the film as a corrective to the clichéd and inaccurate portrayal of the RNWMP and its members in the numerous "Mountie movies" that were churned out by Hollywood studios during the silent era. Through personal contacts, he was able to secure the co-operation of the RCMP, including the loan of uniforms and equipment. Assistant Commissioner T. A. Wroughton, of the RCMP's "E" Division, served as the film's technical advisor, and led a squad of Mounties shown in the opening scenes. (en)
