Los rollos perdidos de Pancho Villa (parte 4 de 4)

"The Lost Reels of Pancho Villa" describes in first-person detail the search for a lost film: "The Life of General Villa," produced under contract between Mexican rebel leader Pancho Villa and the Mutual Film Corporation in 1914. Through exhaustive research in film archives in Holland, England, France, the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the filmmaker creates, using fragments of previously unknown films, a cinematic mosaic not only about Pancho Villa, but also about the Mexican Revolution. Directed by Gregorio Rocha. It all begins when Frank Katz, an American historian, discovers a 1914 contract signed by the American Mutual Film Company in which Pancho Villa granted the rights to film his battles. Gregorio Rocha, the director of this documentary and a renowned researcher, has always been interested in this relationship (cinema, Villa, and other historical figures). Pancho Villa: national hero of the Mexican Revolution, wanted in Mexico as a bandit, in the United States as an invader/terrorist, military strategist, legend, character, myth and... movie star.
