Huge California Mudslide Destroys Homes (1954) - Unissued Nº31

In an attempt to bring hidden films to light, we present this footage of mud racing through the streets of Sierra Madre. Cars and homes are seen engulfed in mud and people are shown cleaning up.

This film was unused by British Pathé editors of the time and not screened in cinemas. In an attempt to bring hidden films to light, we have decided to create "British Pathé Unissued".
