The latest documentary from Salvadoran director Marlén Viñayo (CACHADA: THE OPPORTUNITY) profiles Geovanny, a ruthless hitman for the 18th Street gang, as he serves his sentence in an isolation cell in El Salvador. But in prison, Geovanny is guilty not only of his crimes but of an unforgivable sin under god and gang: being gay. A powerful follow-up to Viñayo's award-winning 2019 feature CACHADA: THE OPPORTUNITY, this astonishing short film shows an aspect of gang life that is seldom seen. Winner, Best International Short Documentary Award, 2020 Hot Docs Festival. DIR/SCR/PROD Marlén Viñayo; SCR/PROD Carlos Martínez. El Salvador, 2020, color, 35 min. In Spanish with English subtitles.
