'Vivos': Film Review — Ai Weiwei's latest doc is a stirring examination of a Mexican humanitarian crisis, says GuyLodge
” runs on a vast, roiling current of such sorrow. Portraying the devastated families of 49 Mexican students in the Guerrero region who were either killed or forcibly disappeared following a police raid, it’s a study of grief both in unresolved limbo and in determined action — thwarted either way by a national scourge of institutional corruption that the public is forced to take as given.
“Vivos” opens on a mist-shrouded rural road, a serene, melancholy tableau sporadically cut by passing traffic. It’s an ambiguous image that gains in power once the film details the events that prompted it. On September 26, 2014, in the Mexican city of Iguala, a bus convoy carrying a large group of student activists from the Ayotzinapa teacher training college — en route to Mexico City to commemorate the 1968 Tlatelolco Massacre — was violently intercepted by police and other masked attackers.
