This portrait of the late 1920s and the first half of the 1930s in Peru offers the perspective of historically silenced sectors. With testimonies from former union leaders, archival photographs, film material, workers’ songs and filming of key places, a transcendental era is reconstructed, where José Carlos Mariátegui and Haya de la Torre played a decisive role in the popular movement.

An exploration —manipulated and staged— of life in Las Hurdes, in the province of Cáceres, in Extremadura, Spain, as it was in 1932. Insalubrity, misery and lack of opportunities provoke the emigration of young people and the solitude of those who remain in the desolation of one of the poorest and least developed Spanish regions at that time.

A biography of Woody Guthrie, one of America's greatest folk singers. He left his dust-devastated Texas home in the 1930s to find work, discovering the suffering and strength of America's working class.
