The Vanishing Prairie is a mid-century nature documentary focusing on the ecological history of the American West. Its main subject is the movement of bison and elk herds across the prairie. Since the film does not include human characters, it lacks the social dynamics and cultural contexts typically explored in human-centric narratives. The narrative is centered on environmental observation, which excludes human social contexts and identity politics.
