Filmoteca Canaria celebrates the 125th anniversary of the birth of John Ford, maker of more than 150 movies and winner of more Oscar awards than any other director, with a cycle featuring a revision of some of his most emblematic films.

Centauros del desierto (The Searchers)

Synopsis: 

 In 1868, three years after the Civil War, Ethan Edwards, a lonely, middle-aged veteran, returns to his brother’s home in Texas. The persecution of the Comanches who had abducted one of his nieces has become a way of life for him and Martin, his adopted nephew. As well as being a revered western full of realistic adventures, Centauros del desierto (The Searchers) is an excellent re-creation of the final years of the frontier fight between the Comanches and Kiowas.
