Earthquake of Mexico

About This Movie

So, 'Earthquake of Mexico' dives deep into that harrowing day in September 1985. It’s not just a documentary; it’s a visceral portrayal of chaos and heartbreak. The pacing is intense, reflecting the panic and confusion that swept through Mexico City as the ground shook. What stands out, though, is how it juxtaposes the sheer devastation with the remarkable solidarity among the citizens. You can feel the tension as the film lays bare the negligence of authorities, which adds a layer of frustration to the viewer’s experience. It's raw, it's real, and despite the heavy subject matter, there’s this undercurrent of resilience that makes it striking. Definitely not your typical historical doc.
