Animated maps show dates of European conquests of Latin American coun- tries, chains binding America to Europe, dates of freedom of these countries. Scenes show their resources, occupations, industries, sports, education and the advance of science in treat- ing tropical diseases, the importance of trade relations between the Americans today. "An unusually good film crammed with a great variety of information that is inter- esting and instructive. Perhaps it is a trifle over-crammed at the end. Shots are so speedy that the line of thought becomes diffuse. That is a minor criticism. The film has real value." Schools motion picture committee "Early sequences graphically illustrate dis- covery and settlement of Latin America. In the film's later attempts to survey Latin Amer- ican youth, the film is inadequate and con- tains too much commentary." J. Frederic Andrews "Represents the kind of documentary film which schools should show to their chil- dren. Honest in its factual material it is im- mensely interesting as an aid in school proj- ects dealing with South America." A. A. Wulff "Excellent commentator — Julien Bryan — and photography. Interesting material, well organized and presented. Fast moving."
