Devil's freedom
Dir. Everardo González
La libertad del diablo | 2017 | Mexico | 96 min.
Synopsis
In Mexico, while cartels continue to prosper and grow increasingly ruthless, violence has become a tragic feature of daily life and part of the country’s collective subconscious. This psychological documentary delves into the minds of those at the heart of the violence—both victims and perpetrators—through chilling interviews. We become witnesses to the fears of those who suffer and those who inflict death, so much death that it shakes the very foundations of society.
