Private Story
Por Aquì Todo Bien
On the outskirts of San Pedro Sula, the Honduras industrial Capital lays the Rivera Hernandez community, a labyrinthine of practices of this neighborhood expanse interconnected like a system of electric currents in perpetual conflict. There the gangs create small universes labeling areas with numbers or letters. Once people used to say that "La Rivera" was a war zone. As time went by and so the blood shed, nowadays anybody could think of it as a normalized insurgency.
The work focuses on a group of kids between 16 and 20 years old, some of them are members and hit men of the 18th Street gang, it draws on a thin line between the affection and the darkness among themselves. They live through a constant spiral of violence with very few ways to get out, in that brief moment of youth that will shape their lives.
“Por Aquí Todo Bien” (All good around here) could be a story of a dreamy kid in a place where people play with fire, dive into dark waters and in the end, are still able to look at the moon, but maybe there are just dreaming.
