Democracy at Work in Rural Puerto Rico? Part 1

Interesting propaganda film from the forties by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Extension Service regarding Puerto Rican agriculture.
The irony of the use of the song Lamento Borincano as background to show how happy the farmers are living. The fact that the song is about how the farmers are suffering by not being able to make a living farming is totally lost by the director of the film.
