Frank Putnam Flint Memorial Fountain Interviews
Ephemeral film · 6 min
Synopsis
Content advisory: Racist remarks. Across several sequences, a television news journalist interviews passersby for their views about whether the Frank Putnam Flint Memorial fountain in Los Angeles should be torn down, primarily focusing on its maintenance needs, and also with reference to an incident in which a person had drowned in the fountain. Interviewees express a range of remarks, accents, and speech performances, not all of which relate to the fountain and some of which contain racist remarks. The interviewer bypasses potential Black interview subjects. reel notes: "Mag Sound - TV interview Monument"
