Plot Summary
Tepito Si is the dramatized story of the people from Tepito, a popular district in the heart of Mexico-City, who struggle for their existence and succeed in surviving in spite of corruption and political game. When it was announced in 1972 that the Municipality wanted to renovate the Tepito area, the inhabitants formed an action group in order to have their say in the urban renewal plans. The devotion of the ‘poor’ and ‘illiterate’Tepitans in proposing a fantastic drawn-up counterplan is unique. This plan won them a First Prize at the Architecture Biennale in Warsaw.
