Give Us the Earth! (1947)
Racism at its worst!
This is a very racist documentary. The original cowboy who was called the vaquero was Mexican. The Mexican is also part Native American who taught the white people how to plant the corn, beans and squash together, also known as the three sisters. Corn, chili peppers, beans, chocolate, vanilla, tomatoes, potatoes, squash, pumpkins, all sorts of nuts, and avocados were all from the Native Americans' culinary, along with so much more. There was no mention heard of any of that in this terrible doc; and instead made it appear as if the white man taught everything to the Mexican. Absolutely absurd! Not only did the Mexicans give up half their land, they also taught the White man many other things that were not addressed on this horrible doc. Too bad.
