Getting to roots of Mexican rock - ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Made in Mexico: From Evolution to Revolution’ explores the tortured history of rock south of the border.

Halfway through a new film about the history of rock ‘n’ roll in Mexico, grainy footage shows a stunned group of young people running down the street in retreat. Some stumble, and friends stop to try to pick them up. The film is silent, but the panic leaks through the fuzzy images.

You finally realize you’re watching people being shot and falling dead in their tracks. They are the victims of what became known as the Massacre at Tlatelolco, when authorities opened fire on demonstrators on the eve of the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.”*
