Servant of the People: The Story of the Constitution of the United States is a 1937 short directed by Edward Cahn.
Production
Depression-era filmmaking on a shoestring and pure ideological conviction.
Editing
Breakneck pacing that crams 200 years into less time than a sitcom episode.
Director
Edward L. Cahn
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during FDR's court-packing crisis, this was essentially government-sanctioned PR for institutional legitimacy.
Director Edward L. Cahn later pivoted to B-horror like 'Invisible Invaders'—quite the career arc from constitutional worship to zombie aliens.
