This text details the entertainment spaces where Delahuertistas and Escobaristas leaders participated during their exile in the United States, in the 1920s and 1930s. Their presence in movies, radio stations and festivals echoed them in the English press (main source for this paper), and in turn helped --consciously or not-- to project an image of the exile, the veteran of the revolution and the Mexican migrant. The protagonists of these exiles worked in the United States on movies, radio stations, newspapers, cultural festivals, theaters, and more, and learned about the practice. Taking into account that the majority of them returned to Mexico, and that some continued with these activities, we propose that the exiles imported cultural capital, which had repercussions on national artistic and cultural movements, such as the era of Mexican gold cinema.
