Joaquín
Durán Jiménez Castro father of Eric Durán was born on December 13, 1920. In 1994 Eric began recording
many of the fascinating stories his father had of his birth place Mexico which included ancestors who were generals during
the Mexican Revolution, major players of the French Intervention and posting of Maximilian as emperor. Other true tales
were about the house he was born in called "El Cristo" in
Coyoacán a neighborhood now part of Mexico City. Parts of the renowned Mexican silent film
El Automovil Griz were filmed in this home in 1918. The house also was adjacent to the home of
Frida Kahlo. These are just a few of the many stories that will continue to be discussed on this website for historical and educational
purposes. Please note links that can take you to either Youtube videos or other sites to better serve you the visitor
