MEXICO.- The actress and producer Salma Hayek He announced this Sunday that he is working on a new film with which he will seek to highlight the image of Mexico and thus respond to the attacks that, he said, have been made against his country.
The artist headed together with the president Claudia Sheinbaum a public event to announce government support for the film industry.
This project “is very important when we are being morally attacked and our image is being represented in a completely wrong way,” said Hayek, without explicitly referring to the origin of these attacks.
It is important to take “control” of the narrative to “say this is Mexico, not what they are selling you. This is who we are,” he added.

According to local media, the American actress Angelina Jolie, who in July 2025 visited areas of Veracruz with Hayek, participates in the new film project, of which the title has not been revealed.
These statements come at a time when US President Donald Trump has launched a strong offensive against migrants in different cities in the United States.
On her social networks, the actress has expressed her solidarity with the Latino population and makes recommendations about their legal rights in the face of raids by federal immigration agents.
The Mexican artist began her career on television and local cinema in the 1980s, before setting out to conquer Hollywood.
