:25:02
and I'm afraid
this is one of those times.
:25:05
You're the only person
who hasn't sold here.
:25:08
That's all right with me.
:25:12
Granma.
:25:13
Yes, Carol?
:25:15
What?
:25:20
Nothing.
:25:25
Young man, do you know
anything at all about land?
:25:30
I believe so,
that's why I was sent down here.
:25:34
When you go back to the ferry
pick up a handful of soil.
:25:39
That's real bottom.
:25:41
Thousands of tonnes of it
are being washed away every year.
:25:45
Mrs. Garth, you don't love
the land. You love your land.
:25:51
You know the Tennessee River
is a killer.
:25:53
Year after year
it's taken many lives.
:25:57
Isn't it plain common sense
to want to harness it?
:26:01
You know what that will mean?
:26:03
Today, 98 of the people
in this valley have no electricity.
:26:08
The dam will bring them
the electricity.
:26:11
I expect that's what you call
progress, isn't it?
:26:16
No, sir.
I don't.
:26:19
Taking away peoples souls,
putting electricity in place of them
:26:24
ain't progress.
Not the way I see it.
:26:27
We're not doing that. We're giving
them a chance to have a soul.
:26:33
And it isn't just this dam.
It's dam after dam after dam.
:26:37
We aim to tame this whole river.
:26:40
You do? I like things running wild.
Like nature meant.
:26:46
There's already enough dams
locking things up, taming them,
:26:51
making them go against
their natural wants and needs.
:26:56
I'm against dams of any kind.
