Central America: Human Geography (1978)
This educational film explores the human geography of Central America by examining its three major regions: Tierra Fría, Tierra Templada, and Tierra Caliente. Through firsthand accounts from various workers—including an American canal worker, a banana plantation laborer, a cacao farmer, a ranchero, coffee and cotton harvesters, Indian farmers, and a mestizo family—the film highlights key geographic, economic, and cultural aspects of the region. It also addresses major social challenges, such as poor education, rapid industrialization, and increasing migration to urban areas, providing insight into the changing landscape of Central American society.
