What Hidden River Is About

A rural teacher summoned by the Mexican President himself goes to work in a village ruled by a malevolent local power. To open a school there means standing against that power, and she goes knowing it. The film shows the distance between a duty handed down from far away and the reality on the ground; the summons from the centre means nothing at all by itself in the village. The account is built with the hard light and wide landscapes particular to Mexican cinema of 1948. The teacher’s persistence is the story’s only support. Maria Felix plays the lead in Emilio Fernandez’s hundred and ten minute Mexican film, completed in 1948.
