James A. FitzPatrick: Almost from childhood, the women of Tehuantepec assume all of the domestic responsibilities, and most of the duties outside the home, so that the social status of the community resembles that of a matriarchy. In spite of their assumption of masculine prerogatives, however, they have retained an unusual degree of feminine charm, and their womanlike appreciation for the beautiful manifests itself particularly in their self-embroidered costumes.

Générique farfelu
Muralist Diego Rivera is identified by the narrator.

costumes and transport links

In the southern part of Mexico, there is a railroad across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Prior to the Panama canal, it was an important route. The people have colorful costumes and customs. Then we arrive at the state capital Oaxaca and the ruins of Monte Albán. There is artist Diego Rivera with his collection of relics.

This is a TravelTalks episode. The color film is well used for the colorful costumes. The wartime episodes tend to stay within the US and North America at most. It's probably why it stresses a couple of travel links to emphasize the robustness of the transport system. Even if the Panama canal is lost, there is a railroad to take its place. This is a bit of propaganda even in a travelogue like this.
