This hauntingly beautiful and dramatic work captures the essence of the events that took place in the plaza of Tlatelolco, ten days before the start of the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City. Valentin-Martinez reflects on social issues and how they have impacted his personal life and his family decision to immigrate to the United States.
