Declaration
film director
“In March 2012, a young man was brutally murdered by four other young men in a square downtown. The death of Daniel Zamudio is the kind of things that worry you and encourage you to do things. Out of curiosity, I started looking deeper into the case and I realized it had elements that were related with what I was looking for. The victim, as well as the murderers were young people with vague or absent father figures and they all came from the same social background, but there was a dead person among them. That fact caught my attention; it disturbed me. That death represented to me the failure of the people, since we are young people that come from the same social marginality.”
