On October 2, 1968, one of the most shameful and tragic events in 20^th century Mexico occurred in the public square of Tlatelolco, a new housing development in Mexico City. The Mexican army opened fire on a large group of protestors and unarmed civilians who were protesting the upcoming Summer Olympics in the city in response to the government’s politically repressive regime. Sources vary over how many people died in the violent confrontation but estimates range from 300 to 400 people or more. No one was ever prosecuted for the massacre which was carried out by the U.S. backed PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) regime but in 2018, on the 50^th anniversary of the event, the Mexican government finally admitted it was a state crime. But that’s not the same thing as justice for the victims and the infamous massacre has been the subject of several dramatizations and documentaries over the years. One of the most powerful of them is the Mexican drama No Nos Moveran (US title: We Shall Not Be Moved, 2024), the directorial debut of Pierre Saint-Martin. Part of its effectiveness is due to its intimate approach which is not a historic recreation of the event but the story of how one woman’s life was forever altered by the tragedy.
