A group of thirty residents of the poorest corners of Avellaneda filmed in February a zombie movie, people who are the inhabitants of the barrio Villa Luján affected by the foul odors from Sarandi stream. "It's easy to blame corporations, politicians and officials, which of course have much responsibility, but we believe that the social indifference is the third leg of this table, urban industrial pollution," said Nestor Saracho, ideologue of the project.

Buenos Aires, January 1914 (NAN-Agency 2011). - A baby. A mother. A stream. Mom yells, "That does not, baby." But the baby does not comply. Suddenly, no longer there baby: there's a zombie. Then, the mother screams again. Alarmed, you see a neighbor, who joins the work of filling the air with shrieks. The noise attracts the opposite grocer, the greengrocer and why not also the retiree who lives in the corner. Everyone looks stunned the green-brown mass sigh before them, dripping with slime and confusion. They do not say, but know that there is no turning back: When a baby turns into walking dead and nothing is the same in a neighborhood.
The Almacenera force does and gets a tear. Mom bends over and grabs her skirt covering her face. Ago, a few yards away, a man begins to clap and smile, knowing that this is how a group of people from the poorest corners of Avellaneda achieved a short film denouncing the contamination they are forced to live and with whom he must deal again today, when odors emanating from the Sarandi stream and are part of the air.
terror will, no doubt. Were about thirty neighbors - ten adults and twenty children - which, converted into amateur filmmakers, put together the final details of the script. Begin to roll it the second half of February in houses in the neighborhood of Villa Luján. Constructed of night landscapes greenwash and fiction that shows how children who spend their days by the brook Sarandí become zombies to inhale her scent. Analyzed every detail of the dialogue, scenery and costumes to create your own factory of fear. However, they know very well that the largest share of cruelty provide reality: the plate, mud and debris endless flashes of glass, plastics and metals that make up the soil around the creek, one of the main channels of Avellaneda which flows into the Rio de la Plata taking dirt and chemicals factories bordering not want to have nearby.
"Our goal is to create a space for participation and citizen action stimulation. It's easy to blame corporations, politicians and officials, which of course have much responsibility, but we believe that the social indifference is the third leg of this table, urban-industrial pollution, "said Nestor Saracho, ideologue and one project the founders of the Civil Partnership Neighbourhood Villa Corina for a Better Future, a group that is in charge of taking the short forward by the independent producer and self-managed Cosamostra, a specialist in horror films.
The protagonist is a girl, played by a young neighbor of Sarandi, and no shortage of characters typical of all social disaster: an employer "either garca "and political" chanta well. " Most players will be boys and it was they, too, who put together the storyboard with the help of a dozen adults. "The children are more sensitive to environmental issues. Also, if a boy fills you with these issues, you'll be better prepared when you get to adolescence and youth, and the power of that time you can better prosecute your ideals into action, "said Saracho, who already has their backs protests , coupled signatures, a day named Arroyo Fest artistic and even a choice of Queen Pollution to complain about pollution channel water Sarandi. For two years looking for different alternatives of communication to raise awareness to their neighbors on various factors which affect their welfare. In addition, musical production gives workshops in schools in Villa Corina, whose students participated in the group and traveling shows "No kid is born to stream" encouraged by the cooperative La Vaca.
The audiovisual production idea became a project of drawing comics to spread through the neighborhood. But to be truly effective awareness, Saracho knew he needed the participation of the residents, who are themselves face paint green and write the lines to portray his own life with dirt and neglect. Because maybe other people's eyes the camera did come a reaction strong enough to claim that the voices sound more high and bring finally a solution. "The situation in which they live is the smallest most moving and poignant, from those with health problems to those who suffer the housing shortage. We note that there is habituation to these situations of contamination. If all we participate actively, not suffer what we suffer, "he warns.
reality and fiction this time will not compete: they accompany. The realization and future projection of the short was made in conjunction with a documentary, also driven by Corina civil partnership, which will show and tell, in the voices of their people how to live by the creek Sarandi. "The main problems are skin allergies and respiratory ailments. There are cases of cancer in the area and have to deal with the unbearable smell, which reach to more than ten blocks away. The people of Villa Luján is in a housing shortage for very alarming, "Saracho details.
Post production and editing will be completed by after mid-year. Also make a trailer to entice school teachers to project the short in their classrooms. They have already promised a place in the Festival Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre (BARS) this year and even now is almost confirmed the name: Corina mutant. It only remains that zombies attack to finally revive the illusion of swimming in clean water.
