The Birthplace of the Harvester is a documentary film that explores the history
of San Vicente, Santa Fe, a small agricultural town located in the fertile Pampas
of Argentina that was home to five farm machinery companies during the
twentieth century. Through interviews, archival footage, and narration with a
variety of musical and visual effects, it explains the importance of technology
and its users for the formation of national and community identity and memory.
