Gay and trans people continue to face enormous societal prejudice in Mexico. Religious groups in the predominantly Catholic country tend to be staunchly opposed to LGBTQ+ rights, and machismo that's so embedded in the country makes coming out as a gay man particularly dangerous. Against this backdrop, VML Mexico has released a short film for telecommunications provider Movistar that tackles the issue of homophobia – in particularly, the cyberbullying of gay people – through a film that turns the notion of machismo on its head.

Client

Office
- Mexico
We know that there is a lot of hate about homosexuality on social networks. Movistar is a telecom that wants to connect people and that's why we created Shout – a cry against homophobia.
