In the early hours of March 16, 1916, the troops of Pancho Villa invaded the continental territory of the United States, attacking the village of Columbus. At the same time a baby was born in Nazas, Durango, proudly baptized Ernesto Villa Nava, the son of General Francisco Villa. Upon the assassination of Villa by the government in 1923, his mother took him to California and told him: "Never tell anybody who your father was, because your life and mine are in danger". Eighty-three years later, Ernesto Nava came to his father`s land and discovered that General Villa is one of the most respected heroes in his country and a moral guide to millions of peasants throughout Mexico. This is the story of Pancho Villa told by those who knew him. Pancho Villa is best described as a collection of memories of the Mexican revolutionary. Almost one hundred years later, director Tabone interviews several Mexicans about one of the most well-known leaders of the Mexican Revolution. With the exception of one American, every person interviewed by Tabone expresses nothing but positive memories of Pancho Villa; a good general who did everything for the well being of his fellow citizens. Although the documentary is a bit one-sided in our opinion, it contains a lot of interesting archive footage and shows how important Pancho Villa has been for the formation of Mexico as a nation and its sense of pride.
