How a Machine Helps the People
1952, Czech. Directed by Rudolf Obdržálek.
This school film gives audiences a demonstration of the advantages of mechanised labour. The author mentions the digger plough invented by the Veverka cousins which was no longer sufficiently efficient at that time. The machines arrive to help the farmers work more effectively. They become a symbol of the connection between farmers and the proletariat.
