America Goes Over was a silent documentary propaganda film produced by the US Army Signal Corps in 1918, documenting the activities of the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I under General John J. Pershing.
The movie was a product of the Division of Films of the Committee on Public Information, the Washington, DC–based federal agency in charge of wartime propaganda in the United States.
The film opens with footage of the war prior to America's entry, including many areas where the US never became involved, such as the Italian Front and the conquest of Palestine.
In between the usual combat footage, which is considerable, there are many "human interest" clips about doughboys on KP, using slop buckets, digging trenches, even one of their lion mascot.
The combat footage, which includes some graphic scenes of the dead and wounded, is accompanied by animated maps of the front, and the gradual inching toward Germany.
