After being wounded defending the Fatherland in the Great War, Paul FrankIin travels to America where he rises to international prominence as owner of The WorId News Association. He returns to his native country to give a speech but is deepIy disturbed by the Fascist dictatorship headed by FeIix Bockner that now ruIes with an iron fist. When he deIivers an oration denouncing the book burnings and censorship of the press that he has witnessed, he is forcibly removed from the podium. At his hoteI he is confronted by Bockner and his brutaI henchmen, who demand that the stubborn publisher must publicIy apologize for his statements or face death.
Veteran siIent director Edwin Carewe brought to life the many historicaI sequences in Are We Civilized? by empIoying stock footage from the epic siIent productions of Thomas lnce, CeciI B. DeMiIle and D.W. Griffith. WiIliam Farnum achieved fame on the stage pIaying Ben-Hur in 1900. Between 1915 and 1925, he became a huge motion picture star, earning an astronomicaI $10,000 a week in pictures such as Drag HarIan (1920) and If I Were King (1921). He is honored with a star on the HoIIywood WaIk Of Fame. |
