Using a series of fifteen self-portrait prints of Francisco Toledo (considered by many to be one of the greatest living Mexican artists), this exciting documentary film takes us on a journey from Paris of the 1960's to political conflict in Oaxaca in 2006.

Starring Maria Felix, Andres Soler, Julian Soler, Maria Elena Marques and Roberto Cañedo, it tells the fascinating story of a man who returns home after studying law to take charge of his father’s cattle ranch in Apure, Venezuela only to find the area controlled by the beautiful yet despotic Doña Barbara who rules using seduction and pacts with demonic spirits to satisfy her whims and achieve power. Join us for this riveting portrayal of good vs. evil. Doña Barbara and Informe Toledo (Toledo Report) made possible in part through the generous support of Phoenix College and the Consul General de México in Phoenix, AZ.

Brown, Mayer Center Fellow in Spanish Colonial Art at the Denver Museum of Art.
