Cinema Tropical and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) at New York University are thrilled to announce a special online program of recent Mexican documentaries, titled MexDocs, taking place December 10-16.
Featuring a slate of four documentaries that have recently made their rounds of the international festival circuit, the program offers a nuanced perspective on contemporary Mexico by delving into the different social, political, and cultural issues currently at play in the country, with a particular emphasis on narratives of womanhood and indigenous resistance.
