Says Scottish Screen: “The people and the story behind a barely-reported atrocity where 45 natives of a small Southern Mexican village are murdered by paramilitary forces. Scottish director, Nick Higgins, can boast to being the only Scotsman to have graduated with a Masters Degree in Cinematography from the American Film Institute as well as being an expert on Mexican culture and politics. A Massacre Foretold understands and gives access to this hidden story.”
