Black Mexicans / La Negrada
January 20, 2019 3:30pm – 5:00pm
LINE-UP OF THE BEST OF ADIFF 2018
“La Negrada” is the first Mexican feature film about the Afro-Mexican community, filmed entirely with people from different towns around the Costa Chica in Oaxaca.
In Mexico, the Afro communities represents only 1% of the total population. They have very recently been recognized as an ethnic group, nation and culture, and still suffer discrimination as an outcast group. LA NEGRADA is the first Mexican fiction movie filmed entirely in one of those black communities, with local people, no professional actors. An effort to give them voice and make them visible.
