Sangre Violenta / Sangre Violeta

2024 · 15 min

A sober, urgent short documentary that bears witness to grief and fury, leaving you shaken and thoughtful rather than entertained.

Overview
Why does the Mexican government consider the feminist movement a bigger threat than most drug cartels? The short documentary 'SANGRE VIOLENTA / SANGRE VIOLETA' interweaves three narratives, illuminating the motivations behind their activism in Mexico. These stories include a radical feminist collective, an inspiring survivor of an acid attack, and a grieving father who tragically lost his seven-year-old daughter to femicide.
