Mexican filmmaker Alberto Saul Arnaut Estrada received a 5,000$ grant for his film “Hasta los dientes” (To the Teeth)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

On March 19 2010, the Mexican government announced that two killers, armed to the teeth, had been killed in a shoot-out with soldiers in the city of Monterrey. Soon it came to light that the two “killers” were in fact university students, Jorge Mercado and Javier Arredondo, who had been tortured before being killed by the military. The army tried to get rid of their bodies by throwing them into a mass grave. As the parents begin to ask questions, and establish the innocence of their sons, they discover that the murders are far from an isolated case.
