“Agarrando pueblo is a protest against national and international documentary models, which at the time – and even today – shamelessly exploited all kinds of third-world suffering (referred to by the directors as “poverty-porn”) and exported it to European television stations and festivals. Counter-informative from beginning to end and in every sense of the word, the film mixes staged and real scenes of a typical film crew commissioned by a German television channel to seek out archetypical social horrors, trampling over the basic principles of professional ethics, the meaning of information and, naturally, sociological research.” Isleni Cruz Carvajal
