Directed by Gerardo Tort

The director of EL VIOLÍN has said that his film was inspired by the campesino movements against government oppression, especially the 70s struggle in Guerrero State which was led by the legendary Cabañas, a rural teacher. Archive footage is mixed with interviews with family, friends, and fellow fighters to reveal and remember this important history which still resonates throughout Mexico.
