El Monopolio de la Memoria

Isabel Gil, Pablo Martínez-Zárate

This film takes a dive into a photographic archive that portrays the 1968 student movement in Mexico. By reviewing over 1300 photographs of students, soldiers and citizens, and the development of a movement inside the Mexican capital, marked by the massive uprisings and the government's repression, the film questions the relationship between memory, power and representation.
