Review
Sort of okay glimpse into the deeeeeeep south industry of today, which includes tobacco, fruit, forestry, and of course, cotton. While this film doesn't imply that they'd rather forget Southern customs, it sure implies that they'd rather be known for other industries as well. Pretty good color photography abounds, but while the new industry is good to see, I sort of did like the "Old South" shots (as it's something I normally do not get to see)
