Watching: Reportage

Overview

Reportage explores the relationship between death and storytelling through the lens of tabloid journalism in Mexico City. Following the journey of a single tragedy—from crime scene to printed headline—the film reveals how photographers, reporters, and press workers transform violence into narrative. Alongside them, a group of former inmates re-enact the crime, this time not as perpetrators, but as actors. In prison, they found a stage; through performance, a way to confront the violence they once committed.
