For anyone who grew up in Mexico or along the U.S. border, the Mexican wrestler-turned film star, El Santo is a familiar character. The man who wore a silver mask in over fifty films would have been 100 now, and his first film, Santo Contra El Cerebro del Mal, has just been restored and will soon be available to see again. This week, we've visited with Viviana Garcia Besné as she tells us about the film's recent restoration project.
