He, behind the gun is a 2023 Mexican short film directed by Gabriel Esdras. The film delves into the riots against police brutality that happened in the city of Guadalara, Mexico in June 2020.
The film follows Marcos (Nacho Tapia) a former graffiti artist working as a security guard, and his brother Samuel (Jaime Bernache).
Synopsis[edit]
In the midst of dystopian turmoil, "He, Behind the Gun" follows Marcos, a former graffiti artist turned security guard, navigating the chaos of protests against police abuse. Longing for the camaraderie of his youth, Marcos decides to take a break from work to reconnect with old friends. Meanwhile, his brother Samuel, a passionate college student involved in the protests, disregards Marcos's warnings and joins the fight for justice.
As events unfold, Marcos confronts the stark reality of his changed priorities. With a newfound sense of responsibility for his family's well-being, Marcos realizes that his days of rebellion are behind him. However, his resolve is tested when he returns home to find agents subduing Samuel. Faced with a critical decision, Marcos must summon the strength to protect his brother one last time, navigating the delicate balance between loyalty to family and the tumultuous world outside.
History[edit]
The film "He Behind the Gun" can be seen as a reflection of the socio-political context surrounding incidents like the assassination of Giovanni López Ramírez. Set against the backdrop of protests against police abuse, the film portrays the struggles of individuals caught in the midst of societal unrest and police brutality. Just as the events surrounding López's death sparked public outrage and protests against police violence, "He Behind the Gun" explores similar themes of injustice, activism, and the human toll of systemic oppression. Through its narrative, the film serves as a poignant commentary on the realities faced by marginalized communities and the urgent need for societal change.
