Hard Reality

“The idea of creating a family and having a normal life lost sense” Antonino Isordia

The “1973” documentary shows the lives of three different people who were born in Mexico City in that year. This film depicts how the government, drugs, alcohol, lack of attention, and family problems forced them to make wrong decisions and the way they had to face the consequences of those.

In the documentary Antonino Isordia wanted the characters to talk about the aspects and details which were part of their cruel lives. Rodolfo as part of a group called “Los Porros”, Maria Fernanda who was involved with drugs and alcohol and Alejandro Cota who had problems in his family.

The film won the JVC award for the best director in the 20^th International Film’s Festival in Guadalajara and was exhibited in the 9^th International Film’s Festival in Puerto Vallarta.

This documentary is excellent for adolescents and adults because it shows in a hard way the reality that many people lives; it also shows how decisions change our life in a minute taking us to serious consequences.
