Uncover the Heart of Mexico: Exploring the City’s Most Iconic Destinations
Mexico City: A Sum of Stories, Places, Feelings, and Flavors
Discover the Best Kept Secrets of the Country’s Capital in the New Canal Once Program “Infinite City”
Mexico City is a city that fascinates, stresses, and makes it so rich and special. With a sum of stories, places, feelings, and flavors, it’s a city that has something for everyone. The new Canal Once program “Infinite City” will take viewers on a journey to discover the best kept secrets of the country’s capital.
The program, which will air on Tuesday evenings at 8:00 pm, will feature 6 episodes that showcase the city’s most representative places, including the pyramid of Cuicuilco, the crops in Xochimilco, the Central de Abasto, and the National Museum of Anthropology and History.
A Unique Perspective on Mexico City
According to Carlos Brito Lavalle, Director of El Once, the program has a special touch that sets it apart from other documentaries about Mexico City. “Mexico City is a city that many of us know from many places, but this program offers a unique perspective on the social struggle of many people, corners of Mexico City that we don’t imagine are there and we live with them every day,” he said.
Ana María Galicia, on behalf of the Secretary of Culture of CDMX, highlighted the relationship between the secretary and the INAH with the Once channel. “The series ‘Infinite City’ promises to present a new perspective on the city, making us feel that it’s ours, encouraging, alive, and always transforming,” she said.
A Tribute to the City and its People
The host of the program, chronicler Jorge Pedro Uribe, emphasized that the idea is to dignify the city and the work of the urban chronicle. ”This series focuses on people, it’s not a shuttle of data, dates, names of sub-regular architects, it gets closer to the farmer, the cooks, the woman who prepares the food in the Quetzalcóatl market, going into the bowels of the city including listening to people, putting the focus on people to achieve the objective of dignifying this city,” he said.
Jorge Pedro Uribe hopes that people will keep an open mind when watching the program, as Mexico City will be questioned. “This series dares to ask, for example, is the Templo Mayor and old Tenochtitlán really the place where our city was founded? Could it be that we can turn to other places?”
