A romanticized childhood, teenage years clouded by confusion and violence, and an adulthood shaped by the need to make peace with the past. I Promise You Violence is a short film drawn from my personal memories of coming of age during the war on drugs in Michoacán, Mexico. Not as a story that has ended, but as one that persists, not as a chapter long closed, but as a presence that lingers, a wound we learn to live alongside.
