ENGLISH

XICO’S JOURNEY is an interesting Mexican animated movie that introduces to Mexican children with environmental awareness through the effects of “fracking”. All the animal characters in the movie are species we often see in the wild in most of Mexico. By the way, Xico (who belongs to a unique Mexican dog breed called Xoloescuincle) must find a “special messenger” who will help them deliver a message. Xico and his friends soon discover that he himself is the messenger.

ESPAÑOL

Aunque los efectos de animación de la película EL CAMINO DE XICO son sencillos, la trama es interesante y los personales míticos son muy mexicanos. Venado en náhuatl se dice mázatl y conejo se dice tochtli. Hoy, dos importantes ciudades del país llevan en sus nombres a esos dos animales, Mazatlán y Tuxtla Gutiérrez. ¡No dejes de ver esta película!

ENGLISH

In mid October 1968 Mexico became the first developing country to host the Olympic Games. It was a happy moment for our nation. However, 1968 was also a “revolutionary” year around the world where many countries had student protests, including Mexico. Unfortunately on October 2, 1968 our country experienced a very sad moment 10 days previous to the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. Each year we commemorate in Mexico the students who lost their lives defending their ideals which transformed Mexican society.

ESPAÑOL

A mediados de octubre de 1968 México se convirtió en el primer país en vías de desarrollo en ser anfitrión de las olimpiadas. Ese año fue uno de revueltas a nivel mundial donde estudiantes universitarios protestaban para mostrar desacuerdo en sus respectivos países. Desafortunadamente México no fue la excepción. El 2 de octubre culminó con la matanza de Tlatelolco que lamentablemente manchó la imagen internacional de nuestro país. Cada año los mexicanos conmemoramos esta fecha para honrar el espíritu estudiantil que dio inicios a la transformación de la sociedad mexicana.
