Wow Silvia. This is really powerful.
Everytime I hear a report about another person who was shot and/or involved in gang violence I always think about the stories they never tell about the victims. Mainstream media doesn’t have time, or doesn’t care to tell these stories. I think your piece does that through beautiful images and music. There aren’t any words but that may be better because the viewer can absorb the images more comfortably. I can’t wait to see what you create next.
Peace

I’m really excited you knew about immortal technique, this song goes perfect with the film, I really like the slideshow with the gun effect, the move overall sends out a very powerful message. I believe every will look at the world differently after watching your video.

The soundtrack was just right for this. The images did not look local, and I just wonder if you couldn’t make a mash-up with images from Little Village and local stuff. Maybe not. It was very insightful anyway.
