The Young Shepherd

Cabros de mierda

In 1983 Santiago during the height of Pinochet's military dictatorship, a spirited young mother in the working-class La Victoria settlement takes in a naive American missionary who carries a video camera. As violent state repression closes in around their community, the visitor's footage captures both intimate neighborhood solidarity and the harrowing price of political defiance.

Cabros de mierda (2017) 7/10 Even though it becomes didactic and the rhythm is like molasses on a hot summer, I think that it's moving and somewhat important for the times we live today, specially in the political landscape of Chile today. More in my review for Cinechile.

It hurts my heart when films this good have flaws, but note: despite everything, it is still a movie that is well worth watching. Stop showing Machuca in high school history classes when studying the military coup and show Cabros de mierda instead.

Very Chilean, very sad. A film that truly squeezes your heart.
