Overview
- The feature-length documentary by director Emilio Maillé streams exclusively on ViX from November 20 following its screening at the Morelia Film Festival.
- Drawing on newly sourced archives and testimonies, it traces the nightclub’s rise from its 1976 founding by Rafael Villafañe and Eduardo Cesarman to its celebrity-fueled heyday.
- Voices appearing include Verónica Castro, Ana Martín, Daniela Romo, Viviana Corcuera, Guadalupe Loaeza, Ricardo Raphael, Mijares and Emmanuel, with Luis Miguel notably not participating.
- Maillé keeps disco as the musical backbone across roughly 110 minutes while weaving in Acapulco’s social context, including recent shocks such as Hurricane Otis.
- The director presents the project as a catalyst for public conversation about cultural memory and the city’s ongoing recovery.
