Movie review: Tempestad
Hey peeps!
As you know I'm a volunteer at Amnesty International and I got to see one of the movies on the Festival of documentary film 2017, that compete for an award for human rights.
Tempestad by Tatiana Huezo (2016)
The story is about two different women in Mexico, that had been the victims of the country and cartels.
Miriam was arrested with her other colleagues in her job at the airport, because they were accused of trafficking with people. But she didn't do it, the government just needed somebody to accuse. She was transferred to prison run by Cartel, but it wasn't really a prison, more like a torturing hotel without any bars. She got out after 8 months for the lack of evidence. She felt stigmatized and she lives in fear ever since.
The other woman Adela has a marvelous family that works in a circus. Her daughter was abducted by people that worked with the police. They sold her forward. Adela and her family were threatened to stop searching, but the family still hasn't given up.
The film shows how corrupted are the police and the government in Mexico, but this happens in many countries, not just Mexico. It's sad how women are tortured and not respected. It really hurts me. The movie beautfully shows the cruelty of this world.
The stories were told by real women, but I hardly discerned their voices, because were so similar. Also the movie was a little bit long, but it had very nice graffic and quality.
You can watch the trailer here and get more information about the festival.
Rating: 7/10
