México Afro

México Afro (2024)

Documentary

We embark on the journey back to Hugo Arellanes' home (Cuajinicuilapa, Guerrero). Through this introspective journey, Hugo explores racism in Mexico and, together with Beatriz Amaro and Aleida Violeta, reveals how the Afro community has been "whitewashed" in the country. They show us how this invisibility has led to the oblivion of Afro-descendant heroes in Mexico's independence and the cover-up of the history of slavery in the territory.
