The good christian

In 1979 José Efraín Ríos Montt became a reborn Christian. He was offering a sermon when a group of soldiers burst into his Christian school, and asked him to lead a military coup in 1982. Francisco Chavez Raymundo and his sister were small children when Rios' political actions annihilated their community.

To Put Together a Helicopter

Oliverio lives in a building taken over by immigrants from the Mexican countryside who work constantly to provide the basic services lacking in the dwelling. However, 17-year-old Oliverio spends his time playing video games, even though electricity is unstable and in short supply. When the summer rains start, a short circuit puts an end to the building´s connection to the electrical system. New ideas on how to get power arise.
