Sabogal's film disrupts mainstream animation clichés by centering a non-Western, high-stakes political thriller. Its strength lies in its commitment to a regional Colombian perspective, which challenges the dominance of Anglo-centric storytelling and provides a necessary critique of state-sponsored violence. However, the film’s focus on systemic corruption and legal battles leaves its representation of specific identities, such as LGBTQ+ and gendered dynamics, largely unexplored. The narrative seems driven by broad sociopolitical themes rather than individual identity-based arcs. Ultimately, the film is a significant contribution to sociopolitical animation, prioritizing the deconstruction of institutional authority over traditional heroic narratives.
