terrible... so disappointed.
Load of rubbish!!
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Amateur movie with Big budget
This documentary talks about the life of a man that tried to kill the president of Mexico back in the years when the PRI(Institutional Revolutionary Party )ruled the country.This failed attempt was made just years after the Tlatelolco Massacre(one of the worst massacres in Mexico in modern times).It shows how much power had (or still have)the ruling president.It also assess the absolute power and how deep attached was (or is) the torture within the judicial system. Also this documentary tries to demonstrate how the institutionalization,medication and torture got the best of a man's life , how a life is secluded and destroyed just by a mere whim of someone.This documentary its just sad and is strong ,sometimes it is so powerful that makes you evaluate the conditions in the Psychiatric hospitals and how their "Knowledge" work. It is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen and there is too much to learn from it.
