And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself

War Documentary (a film about filming a battle) based on historical fact - in 1913, Pancho Villa, the Mexican revolutionary invites a movie company to capture on film his battles to overtake the corrupt Mexican government and return the land to the poor farmers. American film dollars help finance his revolution and the films help create a favorable image for the questionable bandit hero. Antonio Banderas plays Pancho with total realness and passion. A finely made educational movie! Wow.
