El Almafuerte

Directed by Gato Martínez Cantó and Santiago Nacif Cabrera · Documentary · 80 min

While inside libertarian cries bounce against the walls, outside sounds fanfares of an iron fist

The youngsters housed in the "Almafuerte" Maximum Security Juvenile Institute have their first approach to audiovisual recording. A film and documentary video workshop serves as an excuse for them to make a short film inside the prison. The camera is a rabid toy that generates fascination in them and rescues a sheltered, innocent smile that seemed forgotten under the shadows. While inside libertarian cries bounce against the walls, outside sounds fanfares of an iron fist.
