12/15/2009 Realmente impactante.... es un vistazo fuera de nuestra burbuja, que nos hace pensar y sensibilizarnos ante un grave problema de nuestro Mexico See more 10/21/2009 When I asked to Director Polgosky about his new film and he told me that he coudn’t talk about those kids with a glass of wine on his hand, I started to feel a lack of compromise with his work. Los Herederos shows the misery of the Mexican agronomy (and almost sub-human) families that survive although it. With a puristic silence from the Director that reminds “The man with a movie camera” by D. Vertov, we can see the reality of the children that are forced to work in several jobs in order to help the community and their relatives; to film a cultural, social and human subject without a line of the Director's voice could result in a product almost naive or morbid, shown this reality with a little ingredient of self-complacence through an urban eye that is not used to the customs and gestures of the rustic camp life. Los Herederos is a perfect example about the technical use of the camera concerning documentaries --photography is excellent--, but on the other hand not showing the ideas and objectives of the filmmaker could simplify the film just as a (beautiful) UNICEF postcard.

There are some towns in Mexico were there are almost no men left because they decided to migrate to the U.S. and children have to work really hard to help their families to (barely) make ends meet.
