I'd previously read far more about
Presumed Guilty, a documentary about what appears to be a truly heinous miscarriage of justice in the Mexican court system, in the
US media. However,
Milenio says it has turned into that rarest of things: a documentary enjoying box-office success in Mexico. With the support of Cinépolis, the largest theater chain in the country, in its first weekend,
Presumed Guilty earned 6.4 million pesos. This is only $500,000 or so, but it's already halfway to being the most successful documentary in Mexican history.
