Director’s Statement
I was researching another story that came out of Mexico when I stumbled upon a group of teenagers who dress up as angels to protest crime in some of
the most dangerous parts of Ciudad Juarez. I was taken by the look of them. Long white robes, faces and hands painted entirely silver. They wore life-sized
wings on their back. They carried with them signs, protest signs that addressed the cartel directly. “ASSASSINS REPENT, CHRIST LOVES YOU” one read.
They were bold.
In 2010, Juarez saw up to 40 murders a day. A staggering statistic. How in the world, I thought, would I ever have the strength to believe in God after 40
murders a day? Women disappearing out of thin air. A corrupt police force, a corrupt government...the situation was overwhelming.
What struck me most about these teens is that a large number of them came from the socio-economic phenomenon referred to as “Ni-Ni”. Ni-Ni, slang for
“ni estudia, ni trabaja”, refers to youth between the ages of 13 and 24 who neither work nor study. Ni-Ni are not only a social problem, they are a factor
driving organized crime. As the main prey of drug trafficking organizations, Los Ninis make up the majority of the victims in drug related violence and
provide an almost endless supply of foot soldiers for the cartel. The largest population of ni-ni also happened to reside in Ciudad Juarez.
So these messenger angels, in my mind, were quite impressive. They defied expectation, broke stereotypes, and in the end, provided the impetus for this
film. What I hoped to examine was the “fork in the road”--I had interviewed and read about the children that made up the angel protesters and I interviewed
and read about the children that ended up dealing drugs for a living. What made the youth in each of these categories different? A stroke of luck? A
mother’s love? An inexplicable faith?
I read about a Juarenese boy named David. His mother disappeared at 8, likely murdered, his father was arrested for drug trafficking at 10, his younger
brother was sent away to live with relatives shortly thereafter. By the time he was 15, David was angry, estranged, living on the street and dealing drugs for
a living. His life read like a work of fiction, almost too hard to comprehend, but I could not judge him nor blame him for his actions. I wondered again about
faith. What would it take to make this boy believe again? Believe in something, believe in anything?
With Ni-Ni, I do not aim to preach, I haven’t got the answers. I do know that tens of thousands of people have been lost to drug related violence in Mexico
in the last seven years, so to the very least, I hope to ask the questions.

Story
Logline
A lonely street thug yearns for a better life after he bumps into a girl from his past and remembers the boy he used to be. Short Synopsis
In a Mexican border town, 17 year old Daniel, a small time dealer, yearns for a better life after he bumps into a girl from his past and remembers the boy he
used to be. With some regret, he tries to change his ways, but the grip of the cartel is already upon him and will not easily let him go.
Long Synopsis
Daniel a teenaged street thug walks forcefully out of a convenience store, throws the door open and accidentally breaks the nose of the girl standing
behind it. This is Laura, a 17 year old “messenger angel” protesting the drug related violence in Mexico’s Ciudad Juarez. Daniel knew her once as a child,
before falling into a life of petty crime.
The chance encounter sends Daniel racing into his past as he tries to remember the boy he used to be. He seeks out Laura to apologize and surprisingly,
she invites him to join her the following morning in protest. Daniel begins to believe he might actually change, but the grip of the cartel is already upon him.
A confrontation with Cacho, a cartel footman, ensues, forcing Daniel to choose between one life and another.
