The Ambitious City ~ 1920's Silent Film about Hamilton

The Ambitious City -
A Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau... Joint!
Circa the 1920's ~ about Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

From Hamilton's own reporter Paul Wilson...

"It was put together by the Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau, which became the National Film Board, or NFB. The film is undated, but is probably Hamilton of the 1920s, with grand houses, the incline railway in action, schools, factories, parks. And there’s a short segment on the Hamilton Farmers’ Market.

"There are horsedrawn wagons, and Model Ts and great throngs of shoppers hustling about."

*music added by The Ghost Walks for that sweet silent film experience
