Through the legacy that filmmaker Natalia Almada inherited as the great-granddaughter of Mexican president Plutarco Elias Calles (1924-1928), one of Mexico's most controversial revolutionary figures accused of having been a "Dictator" and "Nun-Burner", yet also acclaimed for having been the "father of modern Mexico," El General is a portrait of a family and a country under the shadow of the past.
ProyectorNYC is presenting a double-bill of El General and the experimental documentary short All Water Has A Perfect Memory with director Natalia Almada in person.
New York: April 29 at UnionDocs.
