A guy gave a talk about this in church today, only he gave it a happy ending with the guy actually priming the pump. I was sitting there like, "Who's gonna tell them that's not how it ends?"😂 This film scarred me as a kid. But I guess it gets the message across...
@Chicago London Girl Do you remember that one about a Kid who is alone, has a dog an i think is bullied by kids in the Church? is very sad 😆 im searching that one, i need the title
I have a higher quality version here that I ripped from the DVD: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MdtZZ3NeQIE.html Let me know if you'd like a copy of the original rip for your collection as well
Some water pumps are made with a leather washer that creates the suction required to lift the water out of the ground. When the pump wasn't operated for an extended period of time, the leather washer would go dry and shrink, causing it to loose the seal rendering the pump inoperable. When you prime the pump, you pour the water into the chamber where the washer sits and stroke the pump. In short, with the priming water behind the washer you can now create enough of a vacuum to bring water up from the well, and as the water runs against the leather washer it pulls in moisture and regains its shape to maintain the seal.
There is an older song about this situation called Desert Pete by the Kingston Trio (1963) , probably what inspired this "movie": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-08kEFELCb3I.html
I saw this in sunday school in the early 1990s and then today had a random memory of it and so i googled it. this is pretty dark lol, sure does have a scared straight method to it, with the voice changing. they should had an alternate ending instead of showing him dead at the end lol

Wayne Brennen is a resident at my work. He has dementia. Brilliant old man. Love him dearly. He knew Patrick Swayze very well, they met in ballet in the 70s.
It's implied that he did yes. The whole short film is meant to symbolize the consequences of bad choices. In this case one could say that both the direction on the map to inquire local authorities before traveling the desert roads, combined with the old note left at the pump can represent God's commandments, and how they are given to us to guide us and help us rather than restrict us. And by not listening to God, we will suffer consequences both temporal and spiritual.
