Genre:
History
Release Date: 01/01/2001
Distributor/Studio: Xenon
Utilizing key archival footage and interviews with historians, Mexican filmmaker
Diana Roldán helms the 1999 documentary,
Pancho Villa: el ángel y el fierro, about the controversy surrounding the south-of-the-border revolutionary
Fernando 'Pancho' Villa.
Roldán pays equal attention to those who perceive
Villa as the savior of Mexico, and those who regard him as a misguided and deplorable criminal. The film traces
Villa's rise and fall - from his early tutelage under
Abraham González, through his 1923 assassination in Paral, Chihuahua. In Spanish.
