This poignant video was created by Mexican film students and released yesterday, tonight it was released with English subtitles. It begins with the footage I have posted here on BB twice, that of federal forces killing a citizen. The video then shows the hanging in Michoacán of four people, two teenaged sisters, one an university student, 18, and her sister, 19, she a mother of a 3 month old baby and is the wife of one of the two men hanging, the second man was a beloved teacher. Their crime was supporting the autodefensas movement. The video takes the viewer into the history of Michoacán from the viewpoint of those who have suffered alone at the hands of Caballeros Templarios, by every imaginable atrocity. Atrocities that the CT leader "La TuTa" acknowledges his "boys" are guilty of, explaining that they "do not know better".
