Why is this story important now? Eternal Inferno is an urgent and relevant story in today’s global landscape. Gender-based violence remains an epidemic, particularly in Mexico City, where justice for victims is rare and impunity is widespread. The film’s themes of trauma, revenge, and transformation reflect the lived reality of countless women who seek justice but find themselves fighting an unjust system.
Beyond Mexico, the film resonates on a larger scale. We see globally how cycles of violence and revenge only lead to further destruction, whether in gender-based crimes or large-scale conflicts such as the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. Infierno Eterno is a cautionary tale—one that asks: How do we break the cycle before we become what we fear most?
