- 1971 ----- color ----- 20 min ----- 16mm
- (From NET's Black Journal) Presents the impressive efforts of a new nation struggling to emerge from the ties of British colonialism. As one of South America's newest independent nations, Guyana has sought to strengthen her economy and national pride by the means of self-help programs. Prime Minister Forbes S. Burnham describes the hopes to involve the masses in the economic effort by the use of the co-operative. Guyana's struggle with Al-Can Aluminium illustrates the basic drive of the new country: control of the natural resources by the country itself, rather than by outside nations with little or no interest in the welfare and economy of Guyana and her people.
