    La Llorona.

    Probably the best Central American film out there, La Llorona takes the classic latam folk tale of the weeping woman and gives it a political edge. An aging ex-dictator (based on Efraín Ríos Montt) believes he has evaded justice, but is haunted by the ghost of an indigenous woman killed during the genocide he oversaw. It's particularly timely given the indigenous-led protests in Guatemala at the moment, and the ongoing prosecution of the perpetrators of the dictatorship's war crimes.
