[VNCA NOTE: due to age of media, audio and video became desynchronized during digitization process, resulting in significant delay between audio and video and making video difficult to watch. To remedy this, film audio and video were edited separately to better match speeds. While editing greatly reduced desynchronization, there remains a delay of 1-2 seconds, which fluctuates throughout the program.] ;
