An audiovisual portrait about La Merced neighborhood in Mexico City

Film shot on 16 mm that works as an essay on memory and territory from Xochimilco, through the transformation of the landscape of the Valley of Mexico and the organization of communal life after the earthquake of September 19, 2017.

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.
