Co-Directors: Sandra Rozental and Jesse Lerner

In 1964, the largest carved stone of the Americas was moved from the town of Coatlinchan to the National Anthropology Museum in Mexico City in an impressive feat of engineering. The extraction of the monolith set off a rebellion in the town and led to the intervention of the army. Today representations of the absent stone appear everywhere in Coatlinchan, where it resonates in the memories of the inhabitants. Using animations, archival materials and contemporary encounters with the protagonists of the transport of the stone, this documentary explores the relevance of the ruins of the past in the present day.

There will be a Q&A after the screening with Dr. Sandra Rozental!
