Kilómetro 111
''Kilómetro 111'' is a 1938 Argentine musical film drama directed by Mario Soffici. The film premiered in Buenos Aires during the Golden Age of Argentine cinema. This is one of several films directed by Soffici which address the social evils of historical Argentina. The film is based on Carlos Olivari's play '' La tercera invasion inglesa'' (1936), which is a fictional semi-documentary of the British railroad monopoly. The film is set in a town in central Argentina and documents the tragedy of the poverty-stricken rural farmers who are forced to sell their harvest to the railroad developers. In an attempt to avoid being exploited, the farmers send their wheat to Buenos Aires, where they fail to obtain a bank loan. In the end, it is down to the generosity of the station master that they are able to use the new line to transport their goods, although his generosity means that he is fired from his job.
