About The Virgin who Forged a Fatherland
On the eve of the Grito de Dolores and faced with the threat of being arrested by the viceregal government, Miguel Hidalgo suggested to Captain Allende that the flag of the insurgent movement be the banner of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
Directed by Julio Bracho, The Virgin who Forged a Fatherland leans on a strong ensemble — Ramon Novarro, Domingo Soler, Gloria Marín — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 1942.
