content: Documentary film presents traditional methods for making molasses with wooden mills introduced by Jesuits during the colonial era. The film focuses on the family of Salomon Escobar, of Macio, Tucumán Province, Argentina. The film was shot in August 1965 and released that same year. Prelorán produced an English version through the Ethnographic Film Program at UCLA in 1978. In 1996, Prelorán re-edited the Spanish version, updated the titles and credits, and may have recorded a new narration. Around 2008, Prelorán revisited the film again, creating a videotape master. The HSFA holds three versions.
