The Storm That Swept Mexico Posted by Jim on October 31, 2014, 5:15 pm 75.157.150.108 Two years ago, on this site, "Patti" posted the following about "The Storm that Swept Mexico" "Saw this last year on PBS==EXCELLENT!! I learned so much about Mexico and how these people fought and died for their rights, freedom, and dignity. It was awful to see and learn how the poorer class was treated and abused. It is no small wonder that they want to hold onto their land." Patti, thanks for alerting us to the DVD. I ordered it soon after and just watched it for the first time. EXCELLENT!! is an understatement.

I think every visitor to Mexico should watch this documentary. It's interesting and addresses many questions and opinions. It is available at the Bookstore here in La Manz to rent. ----------------------------- Re: The Storm That Swept Mexico Posted by Daniel H on October 31, 2014, 10:05 pm, in reply to "The Storm That Swept Mexico" 187.148.40.18 It is great however you find out about it. first mention I found on the message board was from Pamela on June 5, 2011 http://www.lamanzanilla.info/la_manzanilla_message_board/11-04-06_to_11-09-18/msg/1307297771.html When it was finally available Brian bought the DVD and donated it to the book store. http://www.lamanzanilla.info/la_manzanilla_message_board/12-04-19_to_12-12-21/msg/1348614139.html Excellent documentary, I have a copy on my hard drive and watch parts at a time, just wish I could retain more of it. ----------------------------- Re: The Storm That Swept Mexico Posted by Pablo on November 1, 2014, 2:02 am, in reply to "Re: The Storm That Swept Mexico" Edited by board administrator November 1, 2014, 2:14 am Just googled the title and found it on YouTube for those interested. About to break out the chips and salsa and give it a viewing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVWcgOcvgV0 Even before watching it, gracias to Jim for the post that brought it to my attention (and to the attention of others who will no doubt appreciate knowing of it). ----------------------------- Re: The Storm That Swept Mexico Posted by stephanie on November 1, 2014, 1:02 pm, in reply to "The Storm That Swept Mexico" Because of the new interest in the DVD posted here..today a fellow came in to rent it...I opened the drawer...and voila...gone! If anybody has borrowed it recently...like this summer, and has forgotten to bring it back...would you, could you...please! And yes, Brian was kind enough to donate it to the bookstore several years ago! A great watch over and over again.
