Behind the story: The fame of ‘Roma’ feels worlds away in humble Mexican village of Tlaxiaco

LA Times  

Students participate in a dance class at a preschool in Tlaxiaco, Mexico. “We’re here about Yalitza Aparicio,” I told Rosa Maria Hernandez, 60, who was busy selling black mole and chicken soup. They’ve called Yalitza “India,” her skin “burned,” her nose “smashed.” “It hurts,” said Nancy Cortez, 25, an architecture student who sells steak tlayudas at the market. × Children work on their writing inside Jardin de Niños Mexico, the three-room preschool where Yalitza Aparicio briefly taught after she filmed the movie “Roma.” If you venture down the dusty road that leads you out of Tlaxiaco hoping to find Yalitza’s mother, sister, brothers — you won’t have much luck.
