And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself

The film will tell us the incredible but true story of how Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa allowed a Hollywood director to make a film about himself; As filming progressed, the national hero himself adjusted the film process, and at the same time the course of historical events. Two giants of the film industry of the beginning of the century - David Griffith and Harry Aiken send their young assistant Frank Thayer to Mexico, where he, at his own peril and risk, makes a “silent” film about the exploits of Villa. Caught in the literal crossfire, Thayer's crew risks their lives, lost between reality and fiction. Camera! Motor! Revolution!
