The film, “Mexico: The Royal Tour,” premier in Los Angeles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last night we attended a VIP Reception and Premiere showing of Mexico: A Royal Tour<\/em>, a film by Peter Greenberg for PBS.<\/p>\n

In the film, President Calder\u00f3n takes Greenberg on a tour of Mexico\u2014but not your average tour. It\u2019s a spectacular visit to many beautiful and unusual places with lots of adventure, including zip-lining, scuba and more. The President and his family clearly enjoy being the tour guides, and showing off these fabulous and interesting places, well-known and not so well-known. There is also discussion of the current security misconceptions. In the end, you will want to get on the next flight south.<\/p>\n

We arrived at the JW Marriott at LA Live in downtown LA, were given wrist bands, checked off several security lists, then passed through a metal detector and into a small ballroom. We enjoyed drinks and conversation with other celebrities such as Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Mexico\u2019s Secretary of Tourism, Gloria Guevara, other dignitaries associated with both Mexico and the film, and entertainment icons including George Lopez, Russell Brand, Lionel Richie, James Caan, and Cindy Crawford. Then there was a buzz, lots more security, and the arrival of President Felipe Calder\u00f3n and his wife, Margarita Zavala. After the camera flashes subsided, we were able chat with the President for a few minutes\u2014our second meeting.<\/p>\n

We moved on to the movie theater, and found seats with our names on them directly behind the President, the Mexican dignitaries and Greenberg, and next to the film\u2019s director. After some speeches, the film began and we were entranced.<\/p>\n

Afterward, talking to the Director, we learned that Mexico\u2019s Copper Canyon<\/a> was to have been part of the tour, but there were some weather issues on the days slated for filming so they did not film there. From previous conversations with President Calder\u00f3n, we know that Copper Canyon is one of his favorite places in Mexico.<\/p>\n
