Mexico in revolution, 1912-1920

The year is 1921, and Francisco Madero is president of Mexico.

Just last year he and his top general ousted the long-standing president (some say dictator), Porfirio Diaz, who is now in exile.

But the country is far from stable. A basic cultural rift between the elite and the poor portends unrest and a sequence of revolts.

Students are assigned to play characters that are charged with stabilizing their country and preventing further civil war.

The goal is to reform Mexico and make it a better nation for all of its inhabitants-but Mexicans and foreigners worry that without a firm hand, Mexico's governance might spiral out of control.

At what cost will progress come?
