Hawks: State Terrorism (Mexico 2006). Dir: Carlos Mendoza


Mexican youth in 1971 was in default and the system remained stagnant and corrupt. Again, the recourse to violence. This documentary explores the lesser-known events of June 10, 1971, features images of the killing and deepens inquiry-up to surprising discoveries related to the paramilitary group known as the Hawks, designed to suppress the student movement.
