In the history of Mexico, few men have had the conscience and vision of Felipe Angeles, one of the greatest heroes of the revolution of 1910. In this companion video to the public television documentary "The Storm That Swept Mexico," Angeles's role in this turbulent chapter from Mexico's past is depicted.
The Mexican Revolution, the first major political and social revolution of the 20th century, not only changed the course of Mexican history, but also profoundly impacted its relationships with the rest of the world.

I'm impressed, this video is much shorter than usual. (I kidd, I kidd)
I liked this video but I wish it was a bit longer, maybe with some more of Felipe Angeles's memoirs to perhaps give more of a feel for Angele's thought process. Regardless, it was as short as informative and it taught me about a important revolutionary in the Mexican Revolution that I had never known.
Very short but informative video. It basically summarized Felipe Angeles' participation in the Mexican Revolution. He was part of the federal army and was of big importance. He was put on trial by Carranza after he showed support for Villa, he was killed by a firing squad. It was pretty precise and straight forward.
As it should be, a human that dies for its goal(s). So that a legend can be made in that human's wake.
Not knowing much about the Mexican Revolution, I watched this video with a completely open mind. Although the video was fairly brief, it was informative nonetheless. Before watching this I did not even have the slightest clue as to who Felipe Angeles was and his contribution to the Revolution.
This video was short but very informative. Before watching this I did not know much about the contributors of the Mexican Revolution but now I know a lot about Felpie Angeles
After writing the forum discussion for week 5, and learning about Porfirio Diaz's regime, this short video was a nice follow up. I did not know who Angeles was before watching this video.
This was a short video that kept my attention. It was very informational. He died for his what he wanted. That's what you do, die for what you believe in
I am very happy to be part of this class and learn so much about history. Mexico revolution was very intensive and Mexicans are great fighters!
I got around to watching the rest of this video, and I'm glad I did. I learned a lot more information in the last bit of the video than the first half. Very well put together.
At first, I was only planning on watching a bit of the clip but I was mesmerized by the brief story of Felipe Angeles. As usual, his sacrifice during the Mexico Revolution symbolizes the fight for democracy and independence throughout Latin American history. This was a short but very informative video.
Felipe Angeles seems like an amazing leader. It is sad, but at the time in Mexico, assassinations of presidents were common occurrences. This is a what if moment in history to me.
I had no idea that Angeles was such an important figure in the Mexican Revolution. Very eye opening video. Interesting to know this part of Mexican history.
I’m glad this video was short because it still gave a good idea of what the Mexican revolution was about. I admire how the Mexicans were great fighters and how this revolution symbolized Latin Americans fight for independence.
This was a nice short video. We didn't really get to learn much about Mexico's history after the Aztecs and Mayans so I liked learning a little bit about their revolution.

It shows very little character to kill someone because he or she disagrees with you. People get too defensive instead of seeing that if people do not like you, is for a reason. Felipe Angeles had a lot of courage to challenge the current government knowing how uncivilized the situation could, and did turn.
Nice short and concise video about the Mexican Revolution. I did not really know who Felipe Angeles was prior to this video. Really interesting guy who you could tell cared a lot about Mexico and interesting dynamic with Villa as well.
