“El Cartel de Los Sapos, el Origen deals with a current topic, which still needs reflection and exposure, not only in the social, political, or intellectual aspects but also in terms of entertainment in a responsible way. Additionally, the results these contents have within the distribution circuit, is a sample of what people want to see” commented Garcia.
