La tormenta que azotĂł a MĂŠxico
L
a tormenta que azotĂł a MĂŠxico es un nuevo y vibrante especial de dos horas de PBS que narra la historia ĂŠpica de la RevoluciĂłn Mexicana de 1910, la primera revoluciĂłn polĂtica y social importante del Siglo XX. Alimentada por el creciente descontento del pueblo mexicano con un rĂŠgimen gobernante elitista, la revoluciĂłn produjo dos de las ďŹ guras mĂticas mĂĄs fascinantes en la historia de ese siglo—Emiliano Zapata y Francisco “Panchoâ€? Villa. Lo que estaba en juego era el derecho que tenĂa MĂŠxico de reclamar sus propios recursos naturales, de establecer una democracia a largo plazo y de redeďŹ nir su identidad. El legado de la revoluciĂłn incluye un nuevo compromiso para con la educaciĂłn nacional, y la explosiĂłn de las artes, mĂşsica, literatura y cine autĂłctono.
