     A slick new video...'Ninos Incomodos'/'Uncomfortable Children'...portrays a grim, violent, crime ridden and apocalyptic future Mexico...with children portraying the roles adults now occupy.

      17 April NOTE:  Because it may have violated Mexico's election restrictions...the 4 min. video has been removed from MOST sites...including the Daily Mail's link above...but is still  available here:

     The video's makers and funders say they want citizens...and presidential candidates...to examine the legacy they are leaving their children.
    Over 700 children were involved in the short film.
    Now...the politicians are weighing in.
    Some critics even say using kids for the roles...was abusive...though parents were on set.
       In just a few days...it had been viewed over 3 million times.
