Prime has a more recent documentary on the St. Francis dam. I am not sure its still available. Lower budget but well done and factual. I enjoyed it. I live about 15 minutes from the site now and have visited on more than one occasion. Another subscriber here Victor VanTress and I have done a day trip to the site and hunted around. Its massive. The scale of the valley that was once filled with water is amazing.
In the bottom picture you posted if you look beyond the concrete boulder in the distance you will see a horizontal concrete structure in the background. That is the remains of the top of wing dyke which was later demolished. That concrete chunk with the man standing near is about 5/8 of a mile downstream of the monument.
