1968 | B/N | 101:00

This is both a visual and audio restoration of the documentary made by students at the University Center for Film Studies (CUEC) during Mexico’s 1968 student movement. The compiled images amounted to eight hours of footage, which was then edited under the leadership of director Leobardo López Arretche. The result is a crucial testimony of this historic event.
