el-jh-sh-c-ad-forum
A plea to eliminate the arbitrary boundary lines which divide people from each other as individuals and as nations, invisible boundary lines of color, origin, wealth and religion. On an adult level, these lines result in an accumulation of fear and suspicion and finally in war. The film is composed of animated paintings, moving lines, realistic and abstract symbols; the music is an integral part of the drama
The message — that we must learn, as peoples, to live together in harmony, and that it is possible to do so, make this highly suitable for forum discussion groups of all ages
"Color, form, movement, and sound are synchronized so effectively that the picture should be of great interest to students of art and music, as well as to those interested chiefly in the idea presented. It is more abstract in treatment than most other films in the area, and would consequently be limited in appeal chiefiy to audiences bringing a background of experience to it. It uses an intellectual approach; yet it has a deep emotional impact. The ideas and questions presented should almost invariably stimulate lively discussion, whether in advanced high school social studies classes, in college, or in adult groups." Ed. screen
"You cannot afford to overlook this film ... it calls attention to those imaginary but evilly effective boundary lines of fear, possession, color, greed, which make for intolerance and strife. It is also interesting because youngsters — from 11 upwards, at any rate — accept it quite readily, though adult previewers have declared it 'above the heads of children,' and seem to find its art from much less strange than these same previewers do."

An animated color cartoon that deals with a currently vital issue.

ITurther points out that there are four distinct types of blood, but all are found in all races and therefore, its differentiation has no racial relevance
"Effective, witty and positive approach to serious problem. Excellent writing, music, color, animation and direction." Cleveland
"It has liveliness and wit and something more — heart-appeal. It condenses within one reel a complex problem yet is unimpeachably lucid. It Is for everybody because it fulfills a wish we all know we have kept to ourselves too long — the wish to take off the boxing gloves and slap the other guy on the back. It is quite a film."
