Episodes
1. Commander
The regent of Mexico City, Corona del Rosal, wants to weaken his main adversary in the presidential succession by getting rid of the National Security Directorate. Major Barrientos, the leader of the DNS, tries to strengthen its position and that of his boss by creating the perception that the student movement striking in Mexico City is a real threat, to then repress them violently.
2. Students
The student's voice becomes louder despite their lack of organization. After the death of one of the student leaders, and with the assistance of Barrientos, the students will finally become a more cohesive force. With strengthening numbers, the student movement will increase the number of demonstrations in the city, which will subsequently be repressed by the government.
3. On the Street
The students establish the National Strike Council (CNH), and organize one of the largest marches ever seen in the country. The government of president Diaz Ordaz is placed in the spotlight. At the same time, the CIA wants to help Corona del Rosal, a candidate to the presidential race, to carry out a coup and return the country to law and order.
