Direção: Gerardo Tort

México, 2005, 101’, DVD

Lucio Cabanas, rural leader killed by the Mexican army in 1974, was head of one of the most important guerilla movements in Mexico during the 1960s and 70s. His legacy and the memory of the countryman’s struggle in Guerrero’s mountain, that left some many dead and missing behind, are still alive and represent a libertarian symbol of commitment with the poor. The testimonials of former guerilla and army companion, sympathizers, family members and survivors, historiographers, sociologists, reconstruct not only Cabana’s story but also contribute for a reflection of the causes and recurrences of the army movements in social struggle that has characterized Mexico in the last century.
