Chinampas
- 1990 ----- color ----- 31 min ----- vhs
- This important documentary examines an ecologically sustainable system of agriculture that has flourished in Mexico for some 2,000 years. The chinampa zone, which now survives only on the southern edge of Mexico City, is a beautiful area of canals and islands, graceful willow trees, agricultural crops, and flowers. The video employs graphics, live action, and commentary by chinampa farmers to show how the phenomenally productive chinampa system works. It also shows how the growth and pollution problems of Mexico City threaten the survival of the remaining chinampa farmers. By Anne Prutzman.
- Topics: (Agriculture, Latin America, Mexico)
