In making a documentary about the controversial Tijerina, Mexican director Ángel Estrada Soto found that people who spent time with the activist — who the press dubbed “King Tiger” and the “Chicano Malcolm X” — would talk about him, the Cuidad Juárez-based writer and filmmaker said, “but not in front of a camera.” Estrada Soto’s Spanish-language film had its New Mexico premiere at the Santa Fe Film Festival.
