Question: Are the directors of both films The Way Of The Strong (1919 Film) and God'S Country (1985 Film) from the same country?

Original footage of a farming community, 60 miles west of Minneapolis, Minnesota was filmed in 1979 for a PBS documentary. But for the next six years Malle was too busy with other projects to finish this work. He returned in 1985 for a follow- up and found the community reacting to the mid eighties crisis of overproduction in farm country. Malle documented a sense of frustration and apprehension from the same participants he had befriended in better times half a decade earlier. The film is occasionally shown on Turner Classic Movies, and is available on DVD from the Criterion Collection. God's Country is a 1985 documentary film about Glencoe, Minnesota, by French filmmaker Louis Malle. The name of the film comes from the widespread belief in American folklore that the United States of America has an exceptional status in the world as" God's country" or" the promised land" because, metaphorically, early European settlers such as the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay believed they were founding at God's behest a shining city upon a hill. <SEP> The Way of the Strong is a 1919 American silent drama film directed by Edwin Carewe and starring Anna Q. Nilsson, Joseph King, and Harry S. Northrup. It was released on March 17, 1919. <SEP> God's Country and the Law is a 1921 American silent drama film produced by Pine Tree Pictures and distributed by Arrow Films.

Later in his career he was nominated multiple times for Academy Awards. Malle is also one of only four directors to have won the Golden Lion twice. Malle worked in both French cinema and Hollywood, and he produced both French and English language films.
