Elena Poniatowska
“En un mitin en Atzcapotzalco un policía subió a hablar; dijo que él era un hombre con dignidad, se quitó el uniforme y lo pisoteó. Luego nos pidió dinero para irse a su tierra. Estaba llorando de coraje.

• Julián Acevedo Maldonado, estudiante de la Facultad de Derecho de la UNAM.”
Elena Poniatowska, La noche de Tlatelolco

“The camera doesn’t have to be a barrier,” she said. “It’s a witness.”
She never shot herself conducting interviews—it broke one of the tenets of cinéma vérité.”
Laura Poitras
