Devil's Freedom

In Mexico, as the cartels prosper and grow increasingly implacable, the phenomenon of violence has become a tragic feature of life and part of the country’s subconscious. Through first-hand testimonies, both from the victims and from the executioners, La Libertad del Diablo explores how fear and uncertainty have penetrated all levels of Mexican society - asking what meaning lies within this violence and the profound fear that this breeds. More than a film about the violent acts themselves, La Libertad del Diablo is a psychological plunge into the nightmares and the absence that so many dead bodies are leaving in their wake. The interaction of these personal stories forms a complex web of universal echoes, a reflection on the nature of our deepest fears and the darkest features of the human psyche. (Artegios)
