Roaring Guns is a 1944 short western film by director Jean Negulesco[1] depicting hydraulic gold mining which became popular after the initial Gold Rush had ended and the devastating effects on the land from mud and water on local farmers.[2] The 19 minute film uses miniature models for some of the flood scenes. The movie is considered an early film for the environmental movement.
