The Other Conquest (1999)
Directed by Salvador Carrasco
“The spirit of a people can never be conquered.”
Drama, History · 1h 45m
The film is a drama about the aftermath of the 1520s Spanish Conquest of Mexico told from the perspective of the indigenous Aztec people. It explores the social, religious, and psychological changes brought about by a historical process of colonization that both defined the American continent and is also highly reminiscent of today’s neocolonialism.
