Ayotzinapa: The Turtle's Pace is a compelling documentary that centers the voices of Indigenous and rural Mexican communities.

The film's strength lies in its deep exploration of cultural and racial diversity, particularly in how it portrays Indigenous populations as active participants in their own struggles. However, the lack of representation for LGBTQ+ identities and specific disabilities limits the overall diversity of the film.
