I Remember

Overview

Told in first person, this documentary weaves together two stories of disappearance: that of Atzin Molina, my high school friend who vanished in 2019, and that of Atzin, the indigenous Totonac rain deity, believed lost or dead due to oil-driven environmental devastation in Veracruz, Mexico. Through these two figures who share a name—one human, the other divine—the film explores the violence, loss, and grief that pierce through contemporary life in Mexico.
