This 1930s German educational film features life on a large cattle ranch in northern Mexico, possibly Sonora or Chihuahua — although at the 10 minute mark a large mountain peak is shown so perhaps this ranch was located in the South. Irrigation ditches are shown being dug and crops planted and harvested using primitive implements and ox-drawn plows. Mexican cowboys are also shown. At the end of the movie are images of a “Deutsche Schule”, a German school possibly the Guadalajara branch of the famed Humboldt school. The Humbolt and other German schools in Mexico represented a form of diplomacy for the German state, and also supported German nationals in Mexico, and included a kindergarten and elementary school. However Mexico’s entry into the war in 1942 forced closure of the institution.
