It's an RKO-Pathe documentary short about the country Equator and its bright future. Director Hamilton Wright seems to have made a career of happy documentaries of various exotic countries. He probably got a lot of help from the local governments. It's nothing more than a promotional short from the tourism department. Nevertheless, it's still fun to see the local flavors and interesting construction methods. The textile factory is fine, but I love hat making more. There is a lot to see here. The disappointing part is the black and white filming. It needs colors. With the tropical landscape and local costumes, vibrant colors would bring this to life.
