This fictional documentary recalls the history of the Indians of Mexico, from the origins to the revolution of 1910, through several episodes. The shooting of this film was ordered by The Paramount to Eisenstein at the time of his stay in Hollywood at the end of the years 1920. It was quickly stopped for financial reasons. Forced to get back to Russia, Eisenstein left behind him the whole of the rushes and did not have any more access to them until his death in 1948. It is only in 1979 that the film was shown, thanks to the great work done by former Eisenstein assistant Gregori Alexandrov. He delivered a version of the film that respected the intentions of the great director.
