What happens
Let's Go with Pancho Villa (Spanish: Vámonos con Pancho Villa) is a Mexican motion picture directed by Fernando de Fuentes in 1936, the last of the director's Revolution Trilogy, besides El prisionero trece and El compadre Mendoza. Like the previous films in the trilogy, the film is critical towards propagandist views of the Mexican Revolution by portraying the conflicts as a tragic series of events within Mexican history, emphasized by the characterization of its titular character, general Pancho Villa, being depicted as a cruel leader instead of a national hero. The movie is thought to have been the first Mexican super-production and led to the bankruptcy of the film company that made it. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
