Description: Surveys life in Mexico in 1961 with its overshadowing influences of the past. Depicts Mexico as an old country with new ideas as the basis for cultural and economic extremes. Illustrates the rise of a middle class society as Mexico attempts development through educational and industrial means. Shows the vast extremes of native Indian villages with primitive open-air markets and methods of farming in contrast with modern manufacturing cities with beautiful parks, fine theaters, office buildings, and luxurious seaside resorts.
