J-ok'el (2007)

Ana Patricia Rojo: Carmen Romero

Quotes 

• George Christensen : [they are watching a girl painting Jokel]  That's J'ok-el!

  Carmen Romero : Well, that's how they call her here. It's a Mayan name, but most Mexicans call her La Llorona. The Weeping Woman. We shouldn't speak out loud about her, we shouldn't say her name.

  [whispering] 

  Carmen Romero : It's too dangerous. She was born in here, in San Cristobal. She felt in love with a Spanish Soldier, they had two children, and then he left her for another woman. That night, she went insane... She took her children to a lake, and she drowned them.

  George Christensen : So, this is like a bed time story.

  Carmen Romero : No, when she realized what she had done, she filled her pockets with stones and walked to the bottom of the lake.
