This film, about corruption and violence in Mexico,   is featured in a provocative format in which all the adult characters are played by children.   In this first scene a child awakens, ready for his day, listens to the news, with stories of corruption.

In another scene while arriving to the office of a corrupt politician a person makes a delivery of a cash-filled briefcase.  
While he leaves the building there is a political protest against corruption, which stopped by police.  Another scene a person approaches his vehicle, and is kidnapped by armed men.
There is a scene where human traffickers have migrants in their covered truck bed.  They have reached the US border, where they are intersected by BP  in the area.
In another part of the country drug traffickers are captured  by  Federal Police of Mexico and one of the captives is  wearing a Polo shirt, a nod to  Edgar Valdez alias “La Barbie,”.  He was wearing a Polo  when he was presented to the media after his capture in 2011.  
The video ends with the message from a girl standing with the group of actors, she says; 
“Is this the future that awaits me?  I don't want it! Stop working for your Political parties and not for us. Enough with trying to fix the country superficially., Mrs. Josefina, Mr. Andres Manuel, Mr. Enrique, Mr. Gabriel the time is up,  Mexico has hit bottom, are you going only for the position? or are you going to change the future of our Country….”
I have only highlighted some of the scenes. 
After the release of the controversial film, Federal Deputies of the PRI party asked the government to withdraw the video. The four candidates mentioned addressed the film through social media.
The film was first released in 2012.  It was again released this week with a title “Nothing’s Changed”
