A Foul Piece of Corporate Propaganda
pfrank-413 June 2011
This work was produced by the Shell Oil Company to help make Argentines feel good about the country's rich natural resources. So we see many scenes of cattle ranches, mining, industry, productivity everywhere in the "Abundant Land" of the title. Shell was one of the foreign companies allowed in to drill for oil, and the presence of those companies was extremely divisive. So the film is an attempt to smooth things over. Right at the time of its premiere in late March 1963, rival military factions were literally battling in the streets over the future role of Peronism in the country. It's in color and lasts 75 minutes. It was shown for free in theaters, and that's about what it is worth: nothing.
