The best film I saw last year, and I'm a retired film critic. Very inspiring documentary of social action in Mexico City by way of four separate but parallel stories. By the way, the aesthetic rules of fiction do not apply directly to documentary: not finding out the actual names of the heroes did not matter since we were given enough background, as, for example, in their homes, that their lives were self-evident, especially for the guy against killing bulls and Super Bario. Alas, this film cannot be rented locally (in VAncouver) or purchased on Amazom.com. That says a whole lot about how little an increasingly monopolized film industry, including distribution, values social protest docs.
