As a Guatemalan, it was very difficult for me to get invested in this short. All the actors are Mexican and they speak like Mexicans. Some of the dialogue even has Mexican slang which tells me the filmmakers didn't do their research about how Guatemalans actually talk or simply didn't care. I didn't even feel like I was watching a film taking place in Guatemala. It was borderline insulting and reinforces the stereotype that all latinos are the same regardless of their nationality.
I can't support this short due to the complete cultural disregard with which the filmmakers approached this tragedy. Please don't touch Guatemalan stories next time.
