In El Velador, director Natalia Almada depicts the brutality of Mexico’s drug war through the quiet that falls between the moments of violence. The film follows a night watchman in Culiacan cemetery, a place populated with large mausoleums of once-powerful men who are now casualties of conflict. Almada says she sought to create a film that was neither educational or activist, seeking not understanding, but “to rescue the sense of humanity that violence kills.”
