See description at VDB site: https://www.vdb.org/titles/disappointment-or-force-credulity Here's a brief description: *The Disappointment: Or, The Force of Credulity* is a documentary about the search for four lost treasures buried on a single farm in Missouri. These treasures include a Spanish explorer's gold, silver from the Civil War, mysterious stone carvings, lost texts, and a wife's attempt to heal her husband and protect herself and her children. Part personal documentary and part historical essay, *The Disappointment* traces the patterns of cultural forgetting etched in the landscape of the Austin Farm.
