- Woody Guthrie and the Bonneville Power Administration
This documentary produced by the University of Oregon in 1999, tells some of the story of Woody Guthrie's one-month employment in Portland, OR, in May 1941 when he wrote 26 songs in 30 days. Those songs were for a movie that the Bonneville Power Administration planned to produce and eventually issued in 1948 with three of Woody's songs in the sound track. The documentary includes interviews with Steve Kahn, who hired Woody, Arlo Guthrie, Woody's first wife, Mary; Studs Terkel, Pete Seeger and others, including Bill.
