Mexico

We visit Atzin in Mexico City, where he shows us a rich history of cinema, including the Golden Age of the 1930s and '40s. Stephanie explores her love of Mezcal, and Atzin takes us to his hometown of Puebla to meet his hospitable mother, who has the personality of a Golden Age star. Atzin has made incredible films with universal appeal, but finds himself asking, 'Are my films Mexican enough?'
