La Advertencia, una historia de impunidad
Video campaña La Advertencia, 2023
La Advertencia is a collaboration between artist José Luis Pescador and Francisco de la Mora, based on Antifaz’s investigation for the podcast of the same name.
“The history of Guatemala is a repetition of crushing, time and again, by official institutions against their own people. But in the story of this Central American country, there are also rays of light. One of the few Latin American societies that has risen up to defend an international body sees its story reflected in the comic La Advertencia, una historia de impunidad, drawn by José Luis Pescador with script by Francisco de la Mora.
It emerges from the eponymous podcast, which traces a path from the United States’ support of dictator Efraín Ríos Montt — and his later conviction for genocide — to the administration of former president Jimmy Morales, who clung to power and expelled the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG) from the country.”
