Synopsis

Based on true events that transpired on September 14, 1968, this powerful, award-winning film follows the events that befall a group of students who accidentally stumble upon a town controlled by a paranoid and fanatical priest. Labeled despots and communists, the students and the lone villager who takes them in find their fate at the hands of the townsfolk. Filmed in a stark, documentary style, Canoa is a strong comment on Mexico's socio-political environment of the time.
