Tigers Are Not Afraid

After her mother disappears and probably has been murdered in Issa López's award-winning, gripping, gritty, violent, down-to-earth, poignant, 83-minute, 2017 film reminiscent of Guillermo Del Toro's work, a gutsy, 10-year-old Mexican girl (Paola Lara), who was granted three wishes and is plagued by ghosts and daytime nightmares, joins a gang of streetwise, pistol-packing young orphans (Juan Ramón López, Hanssel Casillas, Rodrigo Cortez, et al.) existing in the slums of Mexico as they try to evade ruthless, heartless cartel gang members (Ianis Guerreo, Tenoch Huerta, et al.) who are into murder, human trafficking, and drug dealing amidst the drug wars that began in 2006.
