Our take

Drawn from real police archives, this experimental documentary from Diego Armando Moreno Garza reckons with the harrowing legacy of a gruesome true crime. The languid cinematography sensitively accentuates the emotional rupture that befell a tight-knit community in the face of indescribable tragedy.
