Circa 1985, this documentary was produced by the National Gallery of Art and distributed by the US Information Agency to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Audubon's birth. According to the summary, the video highlights Audubon's development as an artist with quotes from his journals, and illustrations from his original paintings, his prints and from other artists of the period. Images of Audubon's art are interwoven with live nature photography and footage of significant sites (including the area where Minniesland was located).
