The documentary Beyond the Steel, filmed over four years, records the relocation of an industrial town in northern Manitoba.[1][2] The film was produced and directed by Frank Holmes, a Manitoban filmmaker. From 1950 to 1953 the town of Sherridon, Manitoba was relocated to Lynn Lake, Manitoba.
The film is preserved in the Manitoba Legislature's official library.[3]

The hard copies of the two videos had been handed down from the Eldon L. Brown family to Peter Goodwin, Peter handed the films to Del Hildebrandt to be put into the Lynn Lake Museum. Due to break-ins into the museum at the time, and the poor condition the films were in, it was necessary to donate the hard copies to the Archives of Manitoba where the films are stored at controlled temperatures.
