En tierras nuevas donde el oro abunda
In 1922 belgian immigrant François Verstraeten, who married Matilde Anchorena in Argentina, ordered this film so he could show his countrymen the fabulous land that had changed his life. For that, he brought in a film operator from Europe, who spent almost a year moving through the several farms Matilde had inherited and now shared with François. The result was an amazing documentary about the Humid Pampas and modern Buenos Aires.
