MESSAGE FROM SALVADOR CARRASCO:
 
"The Other Conquest" tells the story of the Aztecs’
spiritual and psychological resistance to the 1521
Spanish conquest of Mexico. The film explores the ways
in which people on the receiving end of conquests,
invasions, colonization, or certain kinds of
"liberation", struggle to preserve their identity and
beliefs in spite of military defeat. Their other
conquest is a spiritual one, often attained at great
personal sacrifice. The story depicted in this film is
not just about Aztecs and Spaniards; it has been
repeating itself throughout history, even to this day,
in different shades and forms.

Reflexion del Director
 
“La Otra Conquista” cuenta la historia de la
resistencia espiritual y sicologica de los aztecas
ante los efectos de la conquista espanola de Mexico.
La pelÌcula explora las diferentes formas en que una
civilizacion que ha sufrido una invasion,
colonizacion, o cierto tipo de “liberacion”, lucha por
preservar su identidad y creencias a pesar de la
derrota militar. El gran reto de estos pueblos, su
otra conquista, es la integridad espiritual, que a
menudo conlleva un enorme sacrificio personal. Este
conflicto se ha venido repitiendo en diversas formas a
traves de la historia, incluso hoy en dÌa, de ahi la
relevancia actual de esta pelicula.
