TONANTZIN GUADALUPE
Synopsis
A cinematic exploration of the controversial and long-silenced origins of Mexico's most beloved religious icon, the Virgin of Guadalupe. Drawing on little-known historical records, the film traces the emergence of this dark-skinned figure from the cultural collision between European and Mesoamerican civilizations, and examines her enduring role as a cornerstone of Mexican identity and heritage.
