Black Mexicans (La Negrada) – Directed by Jorge Pérez Solano – Subtitled Drama (104 min), 2018
Committee: Boca del Rio, Mexico
LA NEGRADA is the first Mexican feature film about the Afro-Mexican community, filmed entirely with people from different towns around the Costa Chica region in Oaxaca. In Mexico, the afro communities represent only 1% of the total population. They have never been recognized as an ethnic group, nation or culture, suffering discrimination as an outcast group. LA NEGRADA is the first Mexican fiction movie filmed entirely in one of those black communities, with local people, no professional actors. Link to the official website
