Radio Silence

Juliana FANJUL 2019 Switzerland, Mexico Documentary color 79min Spanish DCP
Mexico, March 2015. Carmen ARISTEGUI, an incorruptible journalist, is fired from the radio station where she has worked for years. But Carmen continues to raising awareness and fighting against misinformation. The film tells the story of the difficult and dangerous, and essential issue— democracy. A story in which resistance becomes a form of survival. Radio Silence immerses us in the fight of Carmen ARISTEGUI, a woman inhabited by extraordinary courage. A fight against the monopolistic concentration of the media, against an authoritarian and corrupt political system, all in a climate undermined by threats and constant intimidation of drug traffickers.
