This compelling history documentary tells the incredible story of Minor Keith and the construction of the Costa Rican Atlantic Railway in the 19th Century. A seemingly small infrastructure project, the laying of a mere one hundred miles of track cost the lives of over 4000 men, took nearly 20 years to complete, and bankrupted a nation. It also resulted in the formation of the United Fruit Company (UFCO), the largest agricultural enterprise in the world, and for years the most controversial U.S. company ever to operate in Latin America. UFCO and Minor Keith are still considered embodiments of U.S. Imperialism in the region. This illuminating film shows and tells why.
