No idea WHY this film was made. I guess to show the white folks those wacky negroes. A baptism IS shown, and there are LOTS of people there. Not much is shown of the baptism or why it's done. Just one person after the other. A card even says "Next" LOL. Finally, a card says "Some go Unwillingly". So, why are they being baptized then? It doesn't look like they're putting up a struggle. Just under the Lord's power more like.
