11th Grade Hispanic Heritage Month Movie Guides

Based on the iconic novel by Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo is considered a cornerstone of Latin American literature and is a precursor to magical realism. Watching the movie can help students engage with the original text and gain a visual understanding of Rulfo’s unique style.

It is a great film to show you small town life: desolate Mexican town offers a glimpse into rural Mexican life, traditions, and the impact of power dynamics. This cultural background enriches students' understanding of Mexico's social and historical context.
