The Emu War: How Australia Lost a War Against Birds | made with ngram

About the video

This video was created by ngram to recount the Emu War through a historical explainer set in Western Australia in 1932. Maps locate the Wheatbelt and Campion, while dramatized scenes show soldiers arriving by truck, operating a machine gun, encountering a jam and pursuing emus. A timeline organizes the deployment and withdrawal, ending with an emu against a sunset as the soldiers depart. ngram combines sepia-toned reconstructions, map graphics, date labels and documentary-style typography to present the story's setting and central conflict.
