The Other Conquest

The spirit of a people can never be conquered.

A historically grounded, spiritually engaged drama about cultural destruction and resilience in the wake of Spanish colonization, told from the Aztec perspective.

The film is a drama about the aftermath of the 1520s Spanish Conquest of Mexico told from the perspective of the indigenous Aztec people. It explores the social, religious, and psychological changes brought about by a historical process of colonization that both defined the American continent and is also highly reminiscent of today’s neocolonialism.
