Peoples and Cultures of the World: Pathe Science Series
Malays of Sumatra is one of the several educational films from the Pathe Science Series. The film focuses on the culture of the Malays; their style of agriculture, which highlights the growth and importance of rice, grains and coconuts; their use of the land and their training of animals. Their social culture can be seen through a wedding ceremony where the entire community participates in gift giving and dance ceremonies for a newlywed couple.
