A concrete example of Idfa artistic director Orwa Nyrabia’s definition of a Frontlight title, Juliana Fanjul’s angry political sketch film “Radio Silence” started with a much-needed moment of light relief. Entering the auditorium with a backpack, the film’s subject—pioneering Mexican journalist Carmen Aristegui—matter-of-factly walked to the front and sat herself down, without fanfare, in one of four chairs set out in front of the screen. It was typical behavior for this no-nonsense broadcaster, but also a happy reminder that this vital force for good in the world was still with us.
Indeed, Fanjul’s film is a harrowing watch at times, featuring footage of political assassinations and haunted by the disappearance of “The Iguala 43,” a group of activist male students who were murdered in 2014. Indeed, Aristegui herself has received so many death threats that she sent her teenage son to study abroad, keeping him far away from any danger.
