> **Archytele Living Vault Canonical Record**: https://www.archytele.com/show/guadalupe-2006

## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Guadalupe is a 2006 Mexican drama and documentary film directed by Santiago Parra. The narrative centers on two archaeologists, Jose Maria and Mercedes, who receive a grant to conduct a study on the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe and her 1531 appearance to Juan Diego near the hill of Tepeyac. The film features performances by Jose Carlos Ruiz as Juan Diego and Pedro Armendariz Jr. as Simon.

The film holds cultural significance for its exploration of a central figure in Mexican religious history. By framing the story through the lens of scientific investigation, the film bridges the gap between historical fact and spiritual narrative. It is presented as a drama with documentary elements, resulting in a steady, academic pace that prioritizes the examination of the message and miracle associated with the apparition.
