Description
La Llorona (The Crying Woman)
La Llorona (the crying woman) has terrified Hispanics across the United States and Latin America for over five hundred years.<br /> <br /> In the United States alone, an estimated 28 to 35 million Hispanics have grown up with stories of La Llorona, with this vengeful ghost considered by many to be the Latino world’s “best kept secret.” The majority of these “believers” are located in California, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Illinois.<br /> <br /> Bernadine Santistevan, Director of The Cry, spent 5 years searching for La Llorona across the Americas—interviewing people who believe they have seen or heard her, collecting music, poems, and art work dedicated to her, and working with historians and Jungian psychologists who study La Llorona as a cultural phenomenon and universal female archetype.<br /> <br /> The Cry is the film she created as a result.

    How are things going for DVD release on this? Maybe we can have a chat in your group under "Favorite Movies"?
