The documentary "The Story of Carlos Salcido", directed by Gonzalo Lamela, will have its world premiere at the 41st Guadalajara International Film Festival (FICG), establishing itself as one of the most relevant sports titles of the year in the national cinematic landscape. The screening will take place on Thursday, April 23, at the FICG Cinematheque (Bicentennial Screen) at 8:00 PM, with free admission for the public, as part of one of the most important film meetings in Latin America. The film portrays the journey of Carlos Salcido, from his origins in Ocotlán, Jalisco, to becoming an iconic figure in international football. The documentary "Destino de Guerrero". Far from the conventional narrative of a prodigious talent, the film builds the portrait of a man who found his opportunity when it seemed improbable, turning adversity into a life engine. "From the beginning, I knew this was not just a story about football, but about a man who learned to resist before dreaming," said Gonzalo Lamela, the director. "This film seeks precisely that, to look beyond the field and understand where that strength that defines him comes from," said Gonzalo Lamela, director. Through testimonies from key figures such as Matías Almeyda, Ronald Koeman, Benjamín Galindo, Rafa Márquez, and journalist David Faitelson, the documentary reconstructs not only his career with teams like Chivas and PSV Eindhoven, but also the character and discipline that positioned him as one of the most respected defenders of his generation.
