The recent recovery of Los yunteros de Extremadura (The Plowmen of Extremadura), a documentary produced by the Instituto de Reforma Agraria in 1936, is a step forward in the reconstruction of the filmography of the Second Spanish Republic, a crucial period in the history of the propaganda documentary. Requested by the Republican Propaganda Agency in Paris, Los yunteros de Extremadura was nevertheless especially critical of the Republican government. This study analyzes this question as well as the iconography of the film and its interesting dialogue with Buñuel’s Las Hurdes/ Land Without Bread (1933 / 1936).
