Canoa (1976)

Canoa ("Canoe") is a 1976 Mexican drama film directed by Felipe Cazals. The film is based on real events about a group of employees of the Autonomous University of Puebla who go mountain climbing to La Malinche and have to spend the night in a small town called San Miguel Canoa, where they are confused with communists. The right wing town priest encourages the people to lynch them. It was one of the first movies to express the tone of the time of the setting: 1968, when student turmoils were spread all across the country. It was entered into the 26th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Bear - Special Jury Prize.
