FAMILIES OF GUATEMALA DVD |
|
Wow! Viewers get a peek at the everyday lives of two families - usually an urban and a rural family. We are introduced to a child who helps narrate his or her activities. The footage is fantastic - intimate but not intrusive. Lots of interesting facts about the country are presented from a realistic viewpoint which brings other cultures into your classroom or home. 30 min. All ages. Public performance rights included!
