Synopsis
Mexico City, November 20th 2009. This is the 99th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution. There are many opinions about that revolution, but perhaps it’s enough to say that a war that kills over 2 million people happens when there is an unbearable social crisis. Yet 99 years later Mexico still faces many problems. Was the Revolution worth it? Should there be another war to change the problems of today? This is a documentary that was made in a single day of walking through the streets of Mexico City in search for answers to these questions. As the day goes on we meet a surprising variety of people who are willing to share with us their wisdom, their opinions of their history, and their hopes for the future of their country.
