Filmed in the ten by fifty-mile strip of Central America which the U.S. has owned, operated and controlled for more than sixty years, CANAL ZONE is the eleventh in Wiseman's series of documentaries on the operation of American institutions.' Beginning with a trip through, the Canal onboard a Japanese freighter laden with automobiles bound for Europe, CANAL ZONE depicts the daily life of the American residents, a scenario played out against the background of the treaty negotiations between the U.S. and Panama. Although it departs geographically from the con tinental U.S., CANAL ZONE is in every way a logical part of the continuing Wiseman chronicle. The Canal Zone is like a small city. The main business of the Zone is the proper functioning of the Canal. The film shows the prin cipal kinds of events that are involved in the governing of the Zone and in the operation of the Canal. Meetings in the Governor's office, the work of the courts, schools, commissaries and hospitals, the issues debated in com munity meetings, the technical work involved in the operation and maintenance of the Canal, and the leisure activities of the Zonians, are among the events shown. Recently, after thirteen years of frequently bitter negotiation, Panamanian and U.S. negotiators signed a "principle of agreement" on a future Panama Canal trea ty. If approved by the plebiscite in Panama and by the U.S. Senate this fall, control of both Canal and Zone will gradually be yielded to Panama by the year 2000. As with his other films, CANAL ZONE is filmed in black and white and has no narrator or commentator to in terpret the events filmed. Patrick Sullivan, writing nThe New Republic notes: "Wiseman constructs his films so that we find ourselves there, with the camera. We are observers: routine situations, representative sorts of en counters, conversations, duties, expressions and at titudes come together to create their own story."
