Black Mexicans (La Negrada) (NR)

synopsis

The Black People tells the story of Magdalena and Juanita, two women who are united in the spiritual realm by their tona, or spirit animal, and in the material realm by Neri, Juanita's husband and Magdalena's lover. Juanita's death will grant Magdalena the clarity that she needs to go on with her life without Neri. This is the first Mexican feature film starring afro-Mexican actors from various communities in the coastal region of Oaxaca.
