Summary: | <p>Cultural construction and women’s efforts in documentary films seem to be hidden by a patriarchal view. Women’s history in Mexican documentary films has been excluded by the lack of tolerance, and some of these women in Mexico have been rescued by one of the most dedicated women on cinematography topics: Patricia Torres San Martin.</p><p>Nowadays the work and history of different women in cinematography and documentary film are being rescued thanks to the work of Patricia Torres. One example is Elena Valenzuela, film director, a pioneer on film archives in México during the first part of the 20<sup>th</sup> century.</p><p>The value of women in documentary films in Mexico takes form and begins to set up on digital media today thanks to all the feminist movements that are socialized on different devices which distribute their voice across all continents.</p><p>Because cinematography is a very important part of knowledge for society, there is a need to systematize the different memories of all pioneering women in this art.</p><div> </div>
