A documentary told as a travelogue and intent on exposing the intense poverty of areas of Spain outside of the touristic eye, Far from the Trees is considered by some a successor to Luis Buñuel's Land Without Bread. As a political statement, the film is a protest to the image of a newly modernized Spain being promoted by Franco.{{cite web |url=http://www.pragda.com/film-society-lincoln-center-new-york-2009-clandesti.php |title=Clandesti: Forbidden Cinema Under Franco |access-date=2009-04-23 |work=Pragda |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090505200713/http://www.pragda.com/film-society-lincoln-center-new-york-2009-clandesti.php |archive-date=2009-05-05 |df= }}
