The Convict Patient

On February 5, 1970, Carlos Castañeda de la Fuente tried to assassinate the Mexican President to avenge the Tlatelolco massacre of October 2, 1968, defying the most repressive regime in contemporary Mexican history. Forty years later, this failed avenger survived the system’s disproportionate retaliation only to wander Mexico City’s streets as a vagrant. (Morelia International Film Festival)
