During the first days of Mexican cinema, facts that now form part of the history of our country were recorded documentary style. With the passing of time, a plot-driven cinema has been developed which has recreated major happenings from different points of view such as the Conquest, the colonial period, Mexico after independence and particularly the time of the Revolution. In the last few years, film makers have occupied themselves with shaping a vision of recent events of the past few decades for the big screen, such as the massacre of October 2, 1968 or the recent violence in the state of Guerrero.—Clío TV
