{"product_id":"0884501661393","title":"General Orders No. 9","description":"Man's relentless advance into the natural landscape is viewed with a poetic eye in this \"experimental documentary\" from filmmaker Robert Persons. General Orders No. 9 was shot in a territory that follows the Mississippi River through Alabama and Mississippi into Georgia, and charts the slow, inexorable transformation from a wilderness into its current state as settlers arrive, the land is mapped and charted, the territory becomes a town, towns grow into cities, and the once-untouched earth is changed forever. The film incorporates vintage photographs and film footage, original maps, plans for buildings, and other similar images along with new material to create a striking portrait of what was gained and what was lost over the course of two centuries in the American South. The first feature film from Robert Persons, General Orders No. 9 was an official selection at the 2010 Slamdance Film Festival, where it received a special award for cinematography.","brand":"PASSION RIVER PRODUCTIONS, IN.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47086691188976,"sku":"0884501661393","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0884501661393_p0.jpg?v=1763892835","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0884501661393","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
