Mexican History Through Film

This course will examine Mexican history from the late-eighteenth century to present day through the lens of film. Students will move chronologically, for the most part, viewing one film per class period and completing readings that correspond to the film and/or the period/ theme in question. We will address the film from two perspectives. First, students will examine the historical context of each film’s content and evaluate the film as an expression of that context.
