Shame It is the 27th production of the program Debut of the Cinematographic Training Center (CCC) and has the collaboration of graduates of the CCC and students of the school as part of its study plan, a very important space that several of them have taken advantage of in a masterful way, as is the case of Miguel Salgado, who takes a complicated subject and carries it without his hand shaking, without concessions for his characters or the viewer, not only for the story but because his way of telling it shows a maturity that surprises.
The film above all is its protagonist, Juan Ramon Lopez, who manages to capture all the intensity of what his character goes through and project it on the screen, making the viewer his ally and, at the same time, his cruelest executioner. They accompany you Myriam Bravo, Marya Membreño, Francisco Mena and, in brief but striking roles, Fernando Cuautle y Harold Torres.

Shame It builds a painful story about the violence that prevails in the country, a violence that finds no redemption and has no space for salvation, where the authorities are in collusion with organized crime and where we are all bargaining chips to obtain more power, where justice does not exist except to hide the way in which the authorities have sold out to crime and have left the country helpless.
But it not only talks about that issue, it also shows how organized crime has managed to create a network where the blame for surviving them falls on the victims, being the most perverse of all, the film shows how the guilt consumes its protagonist, How seeing the pain of others destroys him even more, we see how fear paralyzes him, how he always remains an outcast with no possibility of forgiveness.
Another important point is how it shows family disintegration, how there is no longer unity in many homes and, as even in those there is a certain empathy between them, this is not enough to be able to survive, many times, the horrors that are experienced.
Shame It is a film to watch and reflect, to create a debate about what is happening in the country and see where we want to go, it is a wake-up call that tells us that, if you give more power to power, as Molotov would say, everything will happen. goes to hell It is a daring and very worthy film. A work that is worth seeing and that, without a doubt, is not only the best of the year, but also the best of the program. CCC’s First Works.
