Whispers

About This Movie

Whispers is a haunting documentary that immerses you in the struggles of the people of Juchitepec, a town grappling with loss and survival. The film’s pacing is measured, allowing the audience to soak in the stark realities of those displaced by the search for a better life. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of despair, yet there's a raw beauty in its depiction of resilience. The way it captures the terrain and the emotional weight carried by its subjects is quite distinctive. The absence of a known director adds a layer of intrigue, making you wonder about the vision behind this poignant narrative.

Whispers is a rare find within documentary circles, often overshadowed by more mainstream titles from the era. Its limited release has made it somewhat scarce, with collectors appreciating its unembellished storytelling and poignant themes. There are few known formats, and the original prints are particularly sought after, especially for those interested in the socio-political landscape of Mexico during the 1970s.
