Mentiras (2006)

Duration: 13:00    Category: International, Short   Opportunity: Bridging the Gap

Mentiras is a visually stunning but profoundly unsettling journey through the world’s largest city. Based on one man’s confession to human rights crimes committed with the backing of the Mexican government – it is the story of a troubled conscience and the rupturing of official lies.
