This film demonstrates how local, amateur actors in Colombia are used to dramatize scenarios that depict the health challenges faced by rural families. Through these ‘sociodramas,’ common family planning methods are promoted as a way to combat malnutrition, poverty, and unhappiness in large homes. The film ends with a little girl reciting a copla—a poetic form popular in the coffee-growing area where the sketches are set. She hails the Profamilia organization and “clarifies” that women affiliated with a club supported by the organization were “good women and not rebels.” In short, through this copla and the sociodrama sketches, the film shows how rural people appropriated and adapted national family planning discourse to their specific realities and communications modes.

![Isolation Tent [Silent] (National Institutes of Health, 1964)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NkjA5LJkTac/hqdefault.jpg "Isolation Tent [Silent] (National Institutes of Health, 1964)
Film shows a zippered clear plastic tent held up by a metal frame. A man dons white booties and steps into the tent. Alongside it is a table with scientific research equipment, including a plastic tube threaded into the tent. When a researcher in a white coat gives the signal, the man inside the tent begins to jog in place until he receives the signal to stop, at which point he exits the tent. The scene is repeated, but the second time the man does deep knee bends. Then two different carts with plastic cubicles on top of them and rubber arm holes and gloves are wheeled into view.
