| Summary: | In 1886, in the state of Chihuahua, the Tomochitecs, led by Cruz Chavez, who reject all kinds of chiefdoms and decide to practice their own religious rites and are devotees of Santa Teresa Urrea, the Saint of Caborca. This causes the wrath of the political and religious authorities in the region, who respond by subtracting two pictures of the temple in professing insubordinate. The Tomochitecs protest and are accused of political rebellion and mock the church; then comes in the federal army, which began a work of extermination. An old military, however, helps. Only women and children are saved. |
