Canoa: A Shameful Memory

Less than a month after the violence at Tlatelolco in Mexico City, a group of young workers from the University of Puebla travel to the village of San Miguel Canoa, near the state capital, to climb La Malinche mountain. Their adventure turns into a nightmare when the townspeople, incited by the priest, mistake them for “communist guerrillas.”
