Extra Edition: “1938: When the Oil Was Ours.” (Repeat)

When President Lázaro Cárdenas decreed the expropriation of the oil industry in 1938, the people of Mexico turned to paying compensation to foreign companies. Almost eight decades later, the filmmaker once again summons Mexicans to finance the filming of “1938, When Oil Was Ours”, a film that rescues from the archives that great act of unity between people and government. The film, featuring well-known actors Damián Alcázar and Ofelia Medina, will premiere in 2023, during the commemorations of the 85th anniversary of the Oil Expropriation. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts the program Voz Pública, from Mexico City. This program was originally aired on June 26, 2015.

Guests: Sergio Olhovich, filmmaker, director of the film “1938: When Oil Was Ours”; José Manuel Pintado, poet and documentalist; Carlos Muñoz, first production assistant; Rosa Elena Ríos, executive producer, Mexico City.
