Synopsis

From Evolution to Revolution "Rock 'n' Roll Made in Mexico " is the story of Mexican rock told by intrepid filmmakers Lance Miccio and Rock icon Fito de la Parra . The journey from innocence of Bubble Gum Music to the Avandaro field on September 11th 1971 where hundreds of thousands cheered bands like Three souls in my mind (El Tri) . After a major propaganda push by the Mexican Goverment against the Avandaro event declaring it an evil gathering of radicals and anarchists and then banning rock and roll from 1970 on until 1985 forcing Rock and Roll underground where it thrived in the barrios of the under ground concerts which drew thousands to FUNKY HOLES where rock could be played to those who loved it in defiance to the conservative rule of the Mexican elite .
