An attributional frame presented by the documentary is that they blame the Mexican Criminal Justice system for falsely convicting an innocent man to twenty years in prison, especially when there is clear evidence proving his innocence.

They mentioned in the documentary that having the cameras actually did help to balance out the court. Finally, a motivational…

    In my opinion I think someone breaking the law can also be “expressing the highest respect for law” if they are openly breaking the law for a just cause and willing to face the consequences for their actions. I believe that every circumstance you find yourself in will result in a consequence.
