Great film using music to portray Mexico's culture
10 August 2015
The current synopsis is misleading in that "Hecho en Mexico" is not really about the musicians, but rather through the use of outstanding musicians and their music it tells a story of contemporary and historical Mexican culture. I am in the process of moving from San Francisco to Mexico, and I felt that this film did an amazing job of portraying Mexico very honestly and creatively, from the point of view of Mexican people of all different ages and backgrounds. Part of what I loved about it is that it addressed topics like immigration, through the wonderful music, without pulling any punches about the imbalances in the relationships between the U.S. and Mexico. This film confirmed my decision to move to Mexico and made me feel even more excited about immersing myself in the Mexican culture and with the Mexican people.
