. The First Grass: A Nations Battle for Life (1925) made by the future producers of "King Kong" and the Second the Oscar nominated 1976 documentary film "People of the Wind" narrated by James Mason.

Merian C. Cooper ((1893 - 1973) is well known in the motion picture industry for his long list of pioneering ventures. He met Ernest B. Schoedsack in Poland during World War I and the two intrepid travelers decided to collaborate on making Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life (1925), showing the migratory habits of' the Bakhtiari tribe in Iran. Grass begins with Cooper, Schoedsack, and their third colleague, Marguerite Harrison, photographing themselves. Cooper is seen smoking a pipe, and a title card identifies him as "The engineer who conceived the idea of recording the migration." In the next shot, Cooper consults with Schoedsack, "whose camera recorded the experience." Lastly, we are introduced to Harrison, dressed in safari gear, looking like a cross between Marlene Dietrich and Marie Dressler. She is identified as an "author and traveler." After this moment in the spotlight, the two men disappear behind the camera. But the meaning is clear -- this is their film, their version of the events.
