Cortometraje Democracy at work in Rural Puerto Rico




This 40s film, made by the U.S. Department of Agricultures Extension Service, chronicles the services the Extension Service provides to rural Puerto Rican families, including training in better farming methods, help with starting home-based businesses, and starting 4-H clubs for the kids. It's pretty straightforward, though the emphasis on American values seen in a Hispanic culture is a little bit unusual in spots. Mostly, though, this is just what you expect. It does give a historically interesting glimpse into rural life in Puerto Rico during the 40s.
