1
00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:14.240
You

2
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:30.020
You

3
00:01:24.160 --> 00:01:25.560
Do

4
00:01:30.100 --> 00:01:31.940
Mama, you're so cute.

5
00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:34.800
Finish your breakfast, Pablo.

6
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:53.800
It's like when we had the TV, and they saw how well they talked and had breakfast.

7
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:55.520
That's how they do it.

8
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:57.980
That's my dad.

9
00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:01.240
That's my dad.

10
00:02:03.080 --> 00:02:03.640
That's my dad.

11
00:02:04.180 --> 00:02:05.200
That's my dad.

12
00:02:05.440 --> 00:02:06.240
Don't go anywhere.

13
00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:24.300
I don't know how they'll think that it's our mornings in Mexico.

14
00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:28.680
I don't know what you expect our mornings here in Mexico to be like,

15
00:02:29.140 --> 00:02:31.900
if you expect them to be something different from your own.

16
00:02:32.600 --> 00:02:37.160
With seven of us, they're busy, yes, but different, I don't think so.

17
00:02:37.700 --> 00:02:41.380
We get dressed, eat, the children must get to school on time.

18
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:47.560
Because today is Monday, market day, Margarita and I have to plan what she will buy this afternoon.

19
00:02:48.380 --> 00:02:52.460
After breakfast, she does the household chores, and I go to work.

20
00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:06.540
Margarita and I have lived here in San Martin for ten years.

21
00:03:07.600 --> 00:03:09.440
It's a very good place to raise a family.

22
00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:12.920
Last year, the government built a new school nearby.

23
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:18.120
The people are friendly, and the weather is pleasant, even now in December.

24
00:03:19.220 --> 00:03:22.520
So I really don't mind walking these ten kilometers each morning.

25
00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:54.280
When we got married, I grew a little land in the fields.

26
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:54.280


27
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:54.280


28
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:54.280


29
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:54.280


30
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:54.280


31
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:54.280


32
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.720
When we were first married, I worked a small field up in the hills.

33
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.960
But because the land here is quite dry, my harvests were small.

34
00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:05.640
There was always enough, though, at least for the two of us.

35
00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:11.100
But when the children began coming, Maria was the first, I knew I must find something more.

36
00:04:11.720 --> 00:04:14.800
For seven years now, I have worked for Señor Sanchez.

37
00:04:15.340 --> 00:04:18.160
He owns the big private farm just ahead.

38
00:04:41.660 --> 00:04:44.460
The land is very good.

39
00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:44.460


40
00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:44.460


41
00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:44.460


42
00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:44.460


43
00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:44.480
It's a very good place to live.

44
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:44.480


45
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:44.480


46
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:45.740
It's a very good place to live.

47
00:04:45.740 --> 00:04:45.820
The farm is very good.

48
00:04:57.540 --> 00:05:02.980
It's a very good place to live.

49
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:09.720
The milk from this farm goes to many of the different villages nearby.

50
00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:14.820
And for myself, I think some of the best meat in our country is raised here.

51
00:05:14.820 --> 00:05:18.240
Not just beef, but pork and chicken, too.

52
00:05:19.900 --> 00:05:24.020
Many people, though, are surprised to find we have farms such as this in Mexico.

53
00:05:24.460 --> 00:05:27.860
They must still think we're a very backwards nation.

54
00:05:44.820 --> 00:05:50.420
It's said one of the biggest reasons farms like this are so important is because they are irrigated.

55
00:05:50.860 --> 00:05:55.820
That means we can grow more crops for ourselves and more that we can sell to other countries.

56
00:05:56.520 --> 00:06:02.000
But for me, it is enough to know that with the irrigation, there will always be water for the fields.

57
00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:06.140
And with water, there will always be crops for me to plant and pick.

58
00:06:06.760 --> 00:06:11.980
Whether it's carrots, corn, tomatoes, or cotton, there will always be something.

59
00:06:32.900 --> 00:06:34.740
The farm is very good.

60
00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:34.740


61
00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:34.740


62
00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:34.740


63
00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:34.740


64
00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:34.740


65
00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:34.760
It's a very good place to live.

66
00:06:34.760 --> 00:06:34.880
It's a very good place to live.

67
00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:34.880


68
00:06:49.900 --> 00:06:54.960
When I first decided to come here, I didn't know how things were going to work out.

69
00:06:55.440 --> 00:06:56.580
But I'm very happy now.

70
00:06:57.340 --> 00:07:00.580
Finally, I know I have a steady job and a steady salary.

71
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.200
Finally, I know I can put food on my family's table.

72
00:07:04.620 --> 00:07:04.860
What have I got to do?

73
00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:04.860


74
00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:04.860


75
00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:04.860


76
00:07:14.860 --> 00:07:30.500
I'm going to Mexico City to look for some supplies.

77
00:07:30.660 --> 00:07:31.020
I'm going to Mexico City to look for some supplies.

78
00:07:31.020 --> 00:07:33.920
No, I'm just driving into Mexico City for supplies.

79
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.820
The men in the back, they're the ones who are going there to stay.

80
00:07:38.400 --> 00:07:40.120
I'm only giving them a ride.

81
00:07:54.080 --> 00:07:59.000
The village the men came from, it's called Huasca, but the name isn't important.

82
00:07:59.820 --> 00:08:01.960
All over my country, it's the same story.

83
00:08:03.180 --> 00:08:05.600
Men say they're becoming tired of the hills.

84
00:08:06.380 --> 00:08:08.220
They're becoming tired of being farmers.

85
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.280
They want more than working in the fields all they can give them.

86
00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:16.260
So they're packing up and moving to the cities for good.

87
00:08:18.320 --> 00:08:19.400
These men are lucky.

88
00:08:20.280 --> 00:08:24.140
At least they have relatives living there who they can stay with for a time.

89
00:08:25.380 --> 00:08:26.960
Many men don't.

90
00:08:29.060 --> 00:08:31.980
Yes, there's work to be found in Mexico City.

91
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:38.100
There's a good deal of new industry there, and factories are going up every day.

92
00:08:38.940 --> 00:08:42.000
But the work is for machinists and mechanics.

93
00:08:43.680 --> 00:08:45.460
What is Rafael there supposed to do?

94
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.520
He's a farmer. Farming is all he knows.

95
00:08:49.900 --> 00:08:52.100
What is he going to farm in Mexico City?

96
00:08:53.760 --> 00:09:00.580
I wish them luck, but I've seen many men before them try, and very few succeed.

97
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:58.260
Pedro Pica Piedra invites you to meet 32 new characters in Pepsi's corcholatas.

98
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.700
Get your collector in your favorite store or with Pepsi's distributor.

99
00:10:13.260 --> 00:10:14.500
Monsters are leaving.

100
00:10:14.700 --> 00:10:17.780
Last days of the Monsters sale anniversary in...

101
00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:39.480
I like to take my classes to the museums so they can see what their ancestors left behind.

102
00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:45.380
It's much easier for the children to understand their heritage if it's something tangible,

103
00:10:45.700 --> 00:10:47.800
something they can look at up close.

104
00:11:02.280 --> 00:11:05.020
I think many teachers feel the same way.

105
00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:07.440
There's always a school outing somewhere.

106
00:11:07.800 --> 00:11:10.580
Of course, when you live in the oldest city on the continent,

107
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.640
it's foolish not to take advantage of all it offers.

108
00:11:14.920 --> 00:11:18.680
You can go to the Socalo and take a tour of the National Palace,

109
00:11:18.800 --> 00:11:20.520
where our president has his office,

110
00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:22.080
or you can look at the National Palace,

111
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:22.080


112
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:23.640
or you can look at the National Cathedral.

113
00:11:24.280 --> 00:11:27.340
Some say it's the first church ever built in North America.

114
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:30.740
There are all sorts of things to see.

115
00:11:35.540 --> 00:11:40.700
I don't want the children to become so involved with the past that they ignore the present, though.

116
00:11:41.640 --> 00:11:44.780
We should not forget our ancient buildings and legends by any means,

117
00:11:45.680 --> 00:11:48.540
but neither should we overlook the vencindades.

118
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:53.400
The vencindades are the poorest parts of our city.

119
00:11:54.280 --> 00:11:58.100
Many of the people here have come from small villages up in the hills.

120
00:11:59.100 --> 00:12:00.940
The only trade they know is farming.

121
00:12:01.620 --> 00:12:03.540
They have a difficult time finding jobs,

122
00:12:04.560 --> 00:12:07.580
and the ones they can find don't pay a great deal.

123
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.860
I'm usually here two or three hours every day,

124
00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:41.180
seeing how things are getting along,

125
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:43.340
checking the wiring and the plumbing,

126
00:12:44.040 --> 00:12:46.160
making sure the building supplies have arrived.

127
00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:48.520
There's always something to worry about.

128
00:12:48.520 --> 00:12:48.520


129
00:12:48.520 --> 00:12:48.520


130
00:12:48.520 --> 00:12:48.520


131
00:12:49.400 --> 00:12:51.560
My men are kept constantly busy.

132
00:12:52.020 --> 00:12:54.080
Housing is one of our city's biggest needs,

133
00:12:54.760 --> 00:12:57.400
especially with so many people moving here each month.

134
00:12:58.520 --> 00:12:59.640
But we are lucky.

135
00:13:00.380 --> 00:13:02.580
The government is helping us as much as it can,

136
00:13:02.680 --> 00:13:04.840
and I think we're making progress.

137
00:13:36.620 --> 00:13:39.880
I'm not saying we don't have our share of problems out there,

138
00:13:40.140 --> 00:13:43.280
but you show me a large city anywhere in the world that doesn't.

139
00:13:44.100 --> 00:13:46.620
What do we have, 10 million people living here?

140
00:13:47.160 --> 00:13:48.460
Let me tell you,

141
00:13:48.500 --> 00:13:48.500


142
00:13:48.500 --> 00:13:48.500


143
00:13:48.500 --> 00:13:50.980
they're the reason our city is making such progress.

144
00:13:52.620 --> 00:13:55.480
My people do much more than eat tortillas and take siestas.

145
00:13:56.140 --> 00:13:58.540
There's only one way to build a city like this,

146
00:13:58.760 --> 00:14:00.120
and that's with hard work.

147
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.280
I hope you put that in your film, too.

148
00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:48.500
