La vida loca
Documental sobre la Mara 18 y, colateralmente, sobre su enconada rival, la Mara Salvatrucha, bandas creadas a partir de modelos surgidos en la ciudad de Los Ángeles, que siembran el terror en El Salvador. Una historia de una imaginería contemporánea creada en un mundo globalizado y que describe los orígenes de uno de los probables mitos fundadores del crimen organizado. Por último, como dato trágico y escalofriante, su director, Christian Poveda, fue asesinado de un tiro en la cabeza en septiembre del 2009 por un miembro de las maras.
