• Jose Portillo's Sexenio
  1976 to 1982

  People assumed that he would place great value on the arts and things would carry on improving. THEY WERE WRONG! Portillo placed his sister Margarita in charge of the Ministry of Radio, Television and Cinematography which was controlled by the Ministry of the Interior (the equivalent of the UK Home Office, dealing with immigration, anti-terrorism, the army, the police and issues of censorship/control of information)

• Luis Echeverria's Sexenio
  1971 to 1976

  Described as having resurrected Mexico's national cinema. He was the director of the Banco Cinematografica
