#179 – La Llorona (2019)

Movie Go Round

For our Movie-Ghoul-Round Around the World pick, Brett chose the eloquent true-to-life political horror film, La Llorona (no, not that terrible one with Velma and the bad haunted house prop, the good one from Guatemala). What did David and Nicole think of this tale of the consequences of denial -- denial of a family member's wrongdoing, denial of responsibility for genocidal acts, denial of the personhood of indigenous peoples? Come listen and find out.
