Abstract

This article analyzes the contributions of the testimony documentary cinema to the construction of the social imaginary of the socialist revolution in Mexico today, retaking the subjectivity of the guerrilla groups configured from the called Guerra Sucia (1965-1979), same as it appears in a corpus of three documentary films: Flor en Otomí (2012) by Luisa Riley, La Otra Revolución (2018) by Mario Corona Payán y Oblatos. El vuelo que surcó la noche (2019) by Acelo Ruiz.  This exercise conceives that film productions present and configure historical ruptures, that is, imaginary significations that institute a social imaginary about social transformation.
