In 1931 the great Sergei Eisenstein traveled to Mexico to film a documentary about the Mexican people. The film was financed by Upton Sinclair (now that’s a commie team up!) Eisenstein and Sinclair planned on filming one more segment but were unable to get funding before Stalin recalled Eisenstein and slapped him on the wrist by denying him funding. Regardless, the film is amazing even in its incomplete form.

Communications impertinent to the aforementioned, including general threats of violence or love letters should be forwarded to me personally.

I had no idea that Upton Sinclair had anything to do with Que Viva Mexico. Wow.
Could he get more awesome? Could he become more of a candidate for make-believe boyfriend?
Let’s find out.
To the internet!
