About This Movie

"Pedacito de tierra" is a 1953 drama film produced by the Film Unit of the Division of Community Education in Puerto Rico, known as Divedco. This film explores the challenges faced by rural farmers in adapting to modernization while emphasizing the value of traditional agricultural practices.

The film addresses the impact of Operation Bootstrap on Puerto Rico's rural farming community. It presents the efforts of DivEdCo’s fieldworkers to persuade farmers about the importance of maintaining traditional agricultural methods despite the pressures of industrialization.

"Pedacito de tierra" encourages families to utilize their arable land for cultivating healthy and affordable crops. This theme resonates strongly with the era's socio-economic changes, making it a relevant piece for those interested in agricultural history and cultural preservation in Puerto Rico.

This film has a unique place in collector circles due to its limited availability and the lack of widely known information about its production. Most collectors are drawn to its historical context—particularly how it documents the agricultural shift in Puerto Rico during the 1950s. Finding original prints can be quite rare, which adds to its allure for those interested in the sociopolitical aspects of cinema.
