quote:
Deliberately detached from the cinema of denunciation of the militant left, Luis Ospina and Carlos Mayolo launch in 1978 what could be called their cinematic-political thesis: The Vampires of Poverty, an outrageous protest against national and international documentary models which at the time –and even today- shamelessly exploited all kinds of Third World suffering (referred to by the directors as "poverty-porn") and exported it to European television stations and festivals. Counterinformative from beginning to end and in every sense of the word, the film mixes staged and real scenes of a typical film crew commissioned by a German televisión channel to seek out archetypical social horrors, trampling over the basic principles of professional ethics, the meaning of information and -naturally- sociological research.
