Give And Take With Mexico (1944)

“Give And Take With Mexico” highlights the friendship and cooperation between the United States and Mexico, particularly during a labor shortage when over 100,000 Mexican workers, referred to as “Nationals,” are brought to assist with agricultural tasks across the country. The film follows Antonio, a Mexican worker on a fruit farm in Oregon, as he engages in various tasks like irrigation, fruit picking, and shopping in a small American town. It showcases the cultural exchange between the workers and their American hosts, emphasizing the bonds formed through shared experiences, music, and celebrations. The narrative underscores the importance of international understanding and the lasting impact of these interactions on both communities.
