Reportaje
Reportaje explores the relationship between death and crime journalism in Mexico City. Through photographers, press workers, and newspaper vendors, it observes how violence is transformed into narrative and how storytelling becomes a way to inhabit and transcend death. In parallel, a group of formerly incarcerated actors stages a crime that resonates with their own histories, turning performance into an act of memory and redemption. See More
