A film series about the untamed West
A pioneer settler and his two sons fighting to keep their hard-won cattle land in the lawless territory of California during the closing years of last century.

The Lancers, determined to bring law and order to a wide-open town, desperately need help. Only one man volunteers-and he has far more to lose than anyone else.

A Horizon presentation of seven programmes on animal life

Eye on Life this week compares and contrasts two kinds of change: beaver and man.
The beaver builds a dam across a river: it changes the local environment, but it's small change compared to man. When he builds a dam, like the one at Kariba, the changes are monumental. The environment-ecological balance-is upset. Perhaps permanently by man's activities-only temporarily by the beaver.
Can man continue to dam as the beaver does, without thought for the future? Or is more planning needed before major changes are initiated?
