Problems in the rural and agricutural sectors are examined, and politics and the labour movement are probed for their special characteristics. A look is taken at the Indian population of Mexico, together with the thrust for better education, and the role of the Institutional Revolutionary Party in the nation's politics. Comments are made by Eduardo Flores, Mexican economist; Arnold Belkin, Canadian painter; some Mexican peasants; Carlos Fuentes,author and Marxist thinker; Raimon Betata, editor of the Mexican newspaper, Novedades; Veltman Nunion of the Ministry of Education; Ira Nicholson, journalist of the London Times, and the wife of the famous Mexican painter, David Alfaro Sigueiros. <30mn>
