Overview

My grandfather was a pivotal figure in history, having fought with Pancho Villa and served as Master Mason, as well as a three-time elected official from Oaxaca and president of the national Association of Cattle Hands. In 1942, he established the Legion of Mexican Fighters, rallying 100,000 cattle hands to prepare for a potential Nazi invasion. While his achievements are remarkable, a hidden family secret emerged during the making of this documentary, revealing complexities behind his legacy that shaped our lives in unexpected ways.
