World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported4m ago
The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) has detailed the historical context and image evolution of La Malinche, clarifying that she was not a traitor but rather an indigenous enslaved woman who served as an interpreter and mediator. Over the centuries, her public image shifted to symbolize betrayal and the root of malinchismo. This historical transformation culminates in her inclusion in the Paseo de las Heroínas in 2026.
Separately, in the Dominican Republic, the Academy of Arts and Cinematographic Sciences selected filmmaker Andrés Farías's second feature film, Melodrama, to represent the country at the 99th Academy Awards. The movie stars Mercedes Morales and Jimm.
