Potentiae

A story about persons with different disabilities in present-day Mexico City. In urban scenery, these persons interact with each other, forming four groups according to their specific condition. Each of these groups becomes then a living organism, a blend through which individuals are supplemented through the capacities of others, developing thus, as a multiplicity, new strengths and possibilities.

Directed by Javier Toscano Guerrero, Potentiae leans on a strong ensemble — Karime Alonso, Ruben Fuentes, Bety Garcés — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2017.
