Bernal: Jason Pintar

Since the Spanish conquest of 1519, 'La Malinche' has been pinned with the blame for the fall of Mexico, Bernal del Castillo's account of her in his documenting of Hernan Cortéz's conquest. In our journey that takes us back almost 500 years, Malinche offers the side of herstory that was never written down - following Malinalli, a young Aztec girl who, having never fitted into a tribe, is led by inescapable and human curiosities for something greater. Using her almost magic ability to pick up new languages in a heartbeat, Malinalli is able to win the trust of the Hernan Cortéz, María Estrada and the Spaniards. Her smarts allow her to see the world in brand new ways...including how the world around her eventually descends into unimaginable bloodshed once the Spaniards reach the edges of Tenochitlan... Following unexpected love, war and a the birth of her daughter - the first recorded child of The Americas and Europe - history names Malinalli 'Malinche: The Captain's Whore'. In finally offering Malinalli a moment in herstory, she becomes Malinche: A Legend.
