“I was asked when we belonged to the Documentary Film Club circuit, and it reminded me that, precisely ten years ago, we started and are working constantly with the people of Ambulante Presenta. We are delighted that of the 18 documentaries that will be shown nationwide, 15 will be with us. Hence, this is the most extensive documentary tour we have,” said Chucho Montaño, who acted as presenter.
He also thanked the sponsors and those who participated in the main table, Mrs. Griselda Camarillo, Director of Casa de Cultura Prof. Alfredo Green, Mtro. Cuauhtémoc Carmona, Director of Social Development, Mtra. Ruth Cota, representative of the Golden Seats.
