Canoa: A Shameful Memory
“A town. Vested interests. 1968: a decisive year in the history of Mexico.”
A group of students arrives in a small town during a hiking expedition. Once there, the local priest accuses them of being communist agitators on the run from an army crack-down against student demonstrations in nearby Mexico City and rallies the townsfolk to lynch them. Based on a true story.
