 HEAD OF JOAQUIN MURRIETA 
NEW AMAZON'S EPIC SERIES

The series starts February 17th on Prime Video
de Joaquín Murrieta) as of February 17th in more than 240 countries around the world! This eight episode action Western series follows the adventures of Joaquín Murrieta and Carrillo as they unite to face a common enemy. Murrieta, also called the Robin Hood of the West or the Robin Hood of El Dorado, was a 19th century Mexican figure of disputed historicity. This is considered to be one of the most ambitious and most expensive of Amazon's original series ever coming from Latin America.

  HEAD OF JOAQUIN MURRIETA
is an exceptional story made in Mexico, produced by Dynamo and Amazon Studios, set on the new border between Mexico and the United States in 1851: Arguably, the Wild West has never been Wilder. Mexico had just lost the 1846-48 Mexican-American war, ceding Texas and then California to the U.S. The California Gold Rush brought 300,000 new settlers to the region while disenfranchising thousands of Mexicans, sparking a period fueled by greed, anger, and xenophobia when an all-out war is waged. The 8 episode series follows the adventures of two men — Joaquín Murrieta, a legendary figure played by Juan Manuel Bernal, and Joaquín Carrillo, played by Alejandro Speitzer — whose paths meet in the midst of a violent misunderstanding. They come together to face a common enemy, Harry Love, played by Steve Wilcox. The cast also includes Yoshira Escárrega as Damace, Emiliano Zurita as Casey and newcomer Becky Zhu Wu as Adela Cheng. Liam Sharpe, Michael Wilson Morgan, also star. Check out the action packed trailer below:

SEE NATALIA OREIRO AS EVA PERON IN SANTA EVITA MINI TV SERIES TRAILER AND POSTER

    SANTA EVITA   
NEW TV SERIES FROM MEXICO
The series will air on Star+ muy pronto
Continuing our travel around the world, today we are in South America with seven episode mini series SANTA EVITA from Star+ canal produced by Salma Hayek. This is the postmortem story of Eva Perón (Natalia Oreiro) whose embalmed corpse endured a bumpy journey that lasted 22 years, as bumpy as her life had been. Evita died in 1952, but her body remain not buried for three years, waiting for the construction of a monumental burial site that was never built. In 1955, the military overthrew Perón and hid Evita's remains for 19 years to prevent it from becoming a weapon against the regime. A political figure for six years and the wife of General Perón, Evita's deceased body influenced Argentinian politics for more than two decades and became the center of a peculiar story and part of Argentinian folklore. For the military regime, dead Evita was even more dangerous than her being alive as she was beloved by the poor people and workers. They all feared her not buried corpse blindly wandering without a final resting place. This is the legend of the body that was never buried. The series will take part in Conecta Fiction and Entertainment festival in Spain this June and will cross over to California July 26th.

A SCANDAL THAT SHOCKED MEXICO AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY IN ULTRA LAVISH PERIOD SET MOVIE DANCE OF THE 41!

 DANCE OF THE 41 TRAILER
A TURN OF THE CENTURY SCANDAL THAT SHOCKED MEXICO
We had a shocking true story movie yesterday from Italy, and today we have one equally shocking true story coming from Mexico in lavish period set
It arrives into Mexican cinemas November 19th
drama DANCE OF THE 41 (El baile de los 41) which will arrive into Mexican cinemas November 19th, but it does not have international dates yet. It is expected that it will air on Netflix next year. Emiliano Zurita and Alfonso Herrera lead the cast of the David Pablos directed movie.

     DANCE OF THE 41 is based on the Ball of the Forty One which was a society scandal in early 20th century Mexico. The incident revolved around an illegal police raid carried out in November 1901 in a private home in Mexico City. The scandal revolved around the fact that of the group of men who attended, 19 were dressed in "feminine" clothing. Despite the government's efforts to hush the incident up, the press

was keen to report the incident, since the participants belonged to the upper echelons of society (including the son in law of the incumbent President of Mexico). This scandal was unique in that it was the first time homosexuality was openly spoken about in the Mexican media and had a lasting impact on Mexican culture.
 
DID YOU KNOW?
Although the raid was illegal and completely arbitrary, the 41 were convicted and conscripted into the army and sent to Yucatán where the Caste War was still being fought!  In Mexico, even in the next half of the 20th century, the number 41 had no validity and was offensive.
Mexico's beloved Alfonso Herrera also stars
The influence of this sick and primitive tradition was so strong that even the officials ignored the number 41. No division, regiment, or battalion of the army was given the number 41. From 40 they progressed directly to 42. No payroll had a number 41. Municipal records showed no houses with the

number 41; if this could not be avoided, 40Bs were used. No hotel or hospital had a room 41. Nobody celebrated their 41st birthday, going straight from 40 to 42. No vehicle was assigned a number plate with 41, and no police officer would accept a badge with that number.
