“Now more than ever, it feels like normal people cannot win against the oppressive systems that are in power. Some people think it’s easier to give up or to try to fend for themselves. Estallido aims to show that there is another option.
There is more than helplessness. “
“Ahora más que nunca uno siente que la gente normal no puede ganarle a los sistemas opresivos en el poder. Algunas personas creen que es mejor rendirse o intentar defenderse lo mejor que pueden. Estallido tiene como objetivo mostrar que existe otra opción.
Hay algo más allá del la amargura.”
