En la cuerda del hambre
1979, Spanish. Directed by Gustavo Alatriste.
Owners of two small farms try to move forward in life by wholesaling their own produce instead of relying on dishonest brokerages. When that doesn't work, they hatch a kidnapping scheme, and the movie shifts its focus to the rich people who have been profiting off their poverty.
