Tigers Are Not Afraid

Issa L�pez writes and directs this fantasy crime horror set in Mexico City. Eleven-year-old Estrella (Paola Lara) is granted three wishes by her teacher during a creative writing exercise that is disrupted by a drug-related shooting outside her school. Returning home Estrella discovers that her mother is missing. In order to get by, Estrella joins a gang of orphaned children, led by Shine (Juan Ram�n L�pez), who have links to the local drug cartel. Surrounded by poverty and violence Estrella chooses her wishes carefully as she allows her imagination to infuse her reality.
