A decisive look at industrial and agricultural growth as it existed then!
This tour de force DVD dating way back to 1920-60 depicts the encouragement provided to industrialization, the production of consumer goods and the implementation of the latest technologies which allowed a spurt in agricultural growth in South America and the Philippines. Go back into history to witness the effort to protect the Honduran banana crops and market. Take a peek into the complete presentation of the banana industry, right from the clearing of the jungle to the shipment of the fruit to the American markets. Delve into Goodyear's rubber plantations on the island of Sumatra, Coca-Cola's presence in Philippine culture, an aerial view of Panama Canal under construction.
