#179 – La Llorona (2019)

For our Movie-Ghoul-Round Around the World pick, Brett chose the
eloquent true-to-life political horror film, La Llorona (no, not
that terrible one with Velma and the bad haunted house prop, the
good one from Guatemala). What did David and Nicole think of this
tale of the consequences of denial -- denial of a family member's
wrongdoing, denial of responsibility for genocidal acts, denial
of the personhood of indigenous peoples? Come listen and find
out.
