VIVOS
Germany 2020 – Director: Ai Weiwei – Original language: Spanish – Subtitles: English – Length: 112 min.
Organised criminality and government bodies in Mexico are closely interconnected, united by corruption. The artist Ai Weiwei presents the families of the 43 students who were abducted in 2014 in Iguala and have not emerged since. A disturbing, visually striking examination of sorrow, loss and a misanthropic system.
We present the German premiere of the film at DOK.fest München 2020 @home.
