A new film chronicling the 1994 assassination of an Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) presidential candidate hit 450 cinemas across Mexico last week.
“Colosio: El Asasinato” is based on the true story of Luis Donaldo Colosio, who had been handpicked by then President Carlos Salinas de Gortari as his successor shortly before he was shot dead at a campaign rally in Tijuana in March 1994.
