Here are some notable examples:
* "Hasta no verte, Jesús mío" (1985): This film directed by Paul Leduc was based on Poniatowska's book of the same name, a fictionalized account of the life of revolutionary fighter "La Corregidora."
* "Tequila Sunrise" (1988): The film features a character named Elena who shares the same name as Poniatowska. Although there is no confirmation that the character is based on her, it is speculated that she might have inspired the character's name and some of her characteristics.
* "La noche de los mil gatos" (2003): This film adaptation of Poniatowska's book, which is a fictionalized account of the Tlatelolco massacre of 1968, was directed by Rafael Lara.
Although Poniatowska herself has not appeared in any film or television projects, her work has been a source of inspiration for many filmmakers, showcasing the powerful impact of her writing and her commitment to social justice.
