| SYNOPSIS
In the early hours of March, 16, 1916, the troops of Pancho Villa invaded the continental territory of the United States. They attacked the village of Columbus.
At the same time a baby was born in Nazas, Durango.He was the son of General Pancho Villa.
When his father was murdered 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 Villa Ramírez 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 for millions of peasants throughout Mexico. The story of Pancho Villa told by those who knew him.

IMPORTANT DATA
Pancho Villa was filmed in eight states in Mexico and three cities
in the US
Since we started with the research until we finished the final cut,
four years passed.
Colonel Alejandro Rodríguez Medina died a week after we interview
him. Francesco says: When I first arrived to the asile Bocado del
Pobre in the city of Chihuahua, Colonel mates told me that he didn’t
speak, that he was mute and deft. After many visits we could make
him respond to our questions and finally he sang an original version
of the famous corrido “Carabina 30-30”. After a week,
the sister who was in charged of the asile told me by phone that the
Colonel had passed away. I believe that Colonel Alejandro was waiting
for an opportunity to share his life before leaving this world. When
he died he was 105 years old.
