An ode to the Mexican journalists who have been abused, tortured or murdered for revealing uncomfortable truths, this one woman show is the political heart of this year's festival.

Confined to a special cell, a female journalist has been in isolation for months. At first, it seems as though her only escape from the nightmare of her situation is from within. But soon her journalistic instincts kick in and she begins a new, terrifying investigation into the little of the world she does have access to.

Written and directed by Emilio Urióstegui Performed and conceived by Ana Cordelia Aldama

Duration: 60 minutes
