As the Earth Turns is a 1938 American independent,[1] science-fiction and silent film directed by Richard Lyford. Lyford was age 20 when he directed As the Earth Turns, and the film is one of many avant-garde films that he made in Seattle, Washington, before finding success with Walt Disney in the 1940s.[2]
He portrays Pax, a central character in the film, "who attempts to persuade the world to put down its weapons by inducing extreme climate change".[3]
