A Bit About Me
I am a Mexican writer and filmmaker. After working 9 years in the independent film and advertisement industry, producing three feature films, many short films, advertisements, and a web series, I decided to dedicate my life to fight for freedom, equality, social justice, real democracy, and the environment. That is why I wrote and published the books: "Democratic Objectivecracy" and "The Democratic Economy of an Objectivecracy", and started the "ACB/Activist Children's Books Coop".
