People must help the land produce crops, according to the agriculturalist at the center of this documentary about helping Mexican farmers make the best use of the land and farming techniques.
"You're poor because the land is poor," he tells the people that he and his wife are helping to plough the land.
The whole idea of the documentary is to demonstrate the "good neighbor policy" that was dramatized many times during the '40s between the United States and Mexico. This is amply demonstrated in the course of the documentary which shows the husband and wife team extending a hand to neighbors who want to learn the new techniques so they can grow beans and other produce to feed their families.
Summing up: Not dumb, as someone else suggested in his review, but an uplifting look at neighbors helping neighbors in rural farm areas that needed assistance to work the land.
