Transcript

In a society laden with violence and harsh judgments, Melissa grapples with the weight of societal expectations and gender norms. As a young Mexican university student, she defies convention by engaging in an activity traditionally viewed as the domain of men. In both her daily life and within the confines of the ring, she confronts relentless demands, harassment, and guilt imposed by a macho society.

Despite pervasive challenges, Melissa refuses to be silenced. With unwavering determination, she harnesses her strength and courage. In the face of adversity, Melissa boldly declares, "Come on, shout at me! So what?"

Her story offers a poignant reflection on the resilience of women navigating hostile environments and the enduring power of self-expression in the face of oppression. This film serves as a compelling tool for educators seeking to engage students in discussions about gender inequality, societal expectations, and the transformative potential of resistance and empowerment.

00:00:47.791 --> 00:00:50.750
SHOUT AT ME

00:01:40.750 --> 00:01:44.791
In the mornings, you know
we're the first with the latest news.

00:01:47.875 --> 00:01:50.750
In other news, young Lesvy's murder...

00:01:50.750 --> 00:01:54.208
...found dead inside the University campus...

00:01:54.208 --> 00:01:56.500
..tied to a phone booth.

00:01:56.500 --> 00:02:00.750
At least 2000 women are marching
to the University campus...

00:02:00.750 --> 00:02:02.291
...demanding justice.

00:02:14.125 --> 00:02:15.291
It's a machine...

00:02:15.291 --> 00:02:17.875
It's all about business,
I want you to learn.

00:02:18.666 --> 00:02:20.500
-And here?
-An entity.

00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:22.958
The right word is entity.
Is this clear?

00:02:22.958 --> 00:02:25.083
If I talk about profit,
it's a business.

00:02:25.083 --> 00:02:26.375
All clear?

00:02:26.416 --> 00:02:28.708
You're such a rascal.

00:02:28.708 --> 00:02:30.833
-Write that down...
-What?

00:02:31.375 --> 00:02:32.541
What he's saying.

00:02:33.083 --> 00:02:34.291
I got lost.

00:02:35.291 --> 00:02:37.458
Remember we have
to pass these exams.

00:02:37.875 --> 00:02:39.416
Oh, you're right!

00:02:42.416 --> 00:02:43.333
It's ok.

00:02:43.333 --> 00:02:44.541
Yes, Arturo.

00:02:44.541 --> 00:02:50.291
...secondary activities such as sales.
They aren't related to production.

00:02:50.333 --> 00:02:51.791
Ok, is this clear?

00:02:51.791 --> 00:02:54.375
Yes, association of cost and expense...

00:02:54.375 --> 00:02:56.375
-Write it down.
-Cost and expense?

00:02:56.375 --> 00:02:57.833
And what's the other?

00:02:57.833 --> 00:03:00.458
Write "Cost and expense".
We're studying the principles.

00:03:00.458 --> 00:03:02.375
-Will I have profits?
-Yes.

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:06.083
I have 10 pesos.

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.708
Mom, you're crazy, you know that?

00:03:09.708 --> 00:03:10.166
Why?

00:03:10.166 --> 00:03:12.333
How can you carry all
your money around like that?

00:03:12.333 --> 00:03:13.166
I always do.

00:03:14.541 --> 00:03:15.458
Here's 3...

00:03:16.583 --> 00:03:18.083
...and 4.

00:03:18.541 --> 00:03:20.500
-40 in change.
-Yes. Thank you.

00:03:22.375 --> 00:03:23.500
Let's go to...

00:03:26.291 --> 00:03:28.166
Did they find out who did it?

00:03:30.083 --> 00:03:31.500
They say she was murdered.

00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:34.083
They found her, I don't remember where...

00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:35.166
But...

00:03:37.583 --> 00:03:38.541
...who knows.

00:03:39.208 --> 00:03:40.583
Some say it was suicide.

00:03:40.583 --> 00:03:42.875
But there's no more justice anywhere.

00:03:42.875 --> 00:03:44.500
Even in school, imagine that!

00:03:45.333 --> 00:03:46.541
And just now...

00:03:46.541 --> 00:03:48.416
But it was the boyfriend, right?

00:03:48.416 --> 00:03:49.291
I don't know.

00:03:49.291 --> 00:03:50.500
I didn't hear about it.

00:03:50.791 --> 00:03:52.875
But now that they put the fences up...

00:03:53.541 --> 00:03:56.833
...between my building and Engineering,

00:03:57.416 --> 00:03:58.958
...there's a small alley...

00:03:58.958 --> 00:04:00.875
...where the guys hang out.

00:04:02.750 --> 00:04:04.666
It's really unpleasant to walk by.

00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:08.416
All these guys lurking,
you pass by and ugh...

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.500
Well yes, watch out,
you're very careless.

00:04:13.333 --> 00:04:14.583
Very careless?

00:04:14.833 --> 00:04:16.208
Well yes, because...

00:04:16.875 --> 00:04:19.208
...you walk around
late at night and stuff.

00:04:19.958 --> 00:04:21.291
You have to be careful.

00:04:22.291 --> 00:04:23.875
With everything that's going on.

00:04:25.291 --> 00:04:26.708
They murder you on one corner...

00:04:26.708 --> 00:04:28.666
...and they butcher you on the next.

00:04:29.750 --> 00:04:31.625
The situation's very tough.

00:04:34.750 --> 00:04:35.333
Ready!

00:04:36.291 --> 00:04:36.958
Full ones.

00:04:38.333 --> 00:04:39.708
Don't get too confident.

00:04:40.125 --> 00:04:41.000
Work in threes.

00:04:41.375 --> 00:04:42.166
Ready? Let's go!

00:04:42.833 --> 00:04:43.958
Alright, Puma, let's go!

00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:46.541
I get ready and I listen to the signs.

00:04:46.916 --> 00:04:47.458
Ready?

00:04:47.458 --> 00:04:48.208
Start!

00:04:48.208 --> 00:04:48.875
Let's go!

00:04:48.875 --> 00:04:50.791
Breathe in and tighten your abs.

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.000
One!
That's it! Stay there!

00:04:54.541 --> 00:04:56.625
More technique and explosivity!

00:04:56.625 --> 00:04:58.541
Let's do it! Ready, competitor, go!

00:04:59.708 --> 00:05:00.875
Puma!

00:05:01.958 --> 00:05:03.000
Breathe in! One more!

00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:04.083
Work it! Work it!

00:05:04.333 --> 00:05:06.166
The last one! Give it your best! Go!

00:05:07.416 --> 00:05:07.750
Go!

00:05:08.125 --> 00:05:09.916
Get up! Get up!

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.708
Go!Go!Go!

00:05:11.958 --> 00:05:13.208
Son of a bitch...

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.083
You did well! Nice one!

00:05:16.083 --> 00:05:17.333
Who's next?

00:05:17.791 --> 00:05:19.625
What's up with this guy?

00:05:19.625 --> 00:05:22.958
He thinks we'll take him in
just because he's into men...

00:05:23.166 --> 00:05:23.708
-Hey!
-What?

00:05:23.708 --> 00:05:26.166
Whenever you want a Power Lifting class...

00:05:26.166 --> 00:05:26.750
Yeah, sure!

00:05:26.750 --> 00:05:28.333
Pure strength.
Maximum strength.

00:05:28.333 --> 00:05:29.458
Come on, for real?

00:05:29.458 --> 00:05:31.875
Imagine you're a chick
weighing under 40 kg...

00:05:31.875 --> 00:05:33.625
...trying to lift 100 kg in a squat.

00:05:33.875 --> 00:05:34.833
And so what?

00:05:35.208 --> 00:05:37.500
It's all about showing pure strength.

00:05:37.833 --> 00:05:38.416
Sounds great.

00:05:38.416 --> 00:05:40.333
So if you're interested,
here we are...

00:05:40.333 --> 00:05:41.666
-For sure.
-Alright then...

00:05:43.750 --> 00:05:46.958
Leaving here at 3:30 means
you get there at 4:30.

00:05:48.583 --> 00:05:50.625
4:00 or 4:30. And...

00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:53.333
I mean, I don't get your schedule...

00:05:53.916 --> 00:05:55.000
Neither do I.

00:05:56.958 --> 00:05:58.375
Why are you like that?

00:05:58.375 --> 00:05:59.833
It's 15 for attendance, right?

00:06:00.583 --> 00:06:03.083
1,2,3,4,5.

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.291
It's a mess, right girl?

00:06:05.291 --> 00:06:06.250
Is this...?

00:06:06.666 --> 00:06:08.166
This is how it was. Is this right?

00:06:08.166 --> 00:06:08.708
What?

00:06:09.541 --> 00:06:11.166
Is it 15 for attendance?

00:06:11.833 --> 00:06:14.916
I was with you in
Accounting 5, remember?

00:06:14.916 --> 00:06:15.500
Oh, yeah...

00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:17.750
-It was another evaluation, right?
-Yeah.

00:06:17.750 --> 00:06:19.750
The grade depends on attendance.

00:06:19.750 --> 00:06:20.333
Right.

00:06:20.333 --> 00:06:21.333
Ready, Octavio?

00:06:21.333 --> 00:06:22.500
Can I take a photo?

00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:23.041
Sure.

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:25.625
What's up baby?
See you tomorrow?

00:06:26.333 --> 00:06:28.625
Don't worry, I can't
catch up with you at 2.

00:06:28.625 --> 00:06:29.083
How come?

00:06:29.541 --> 00:06:31.125
Because of homework and...

00:06:31.125 --> 00:06:32.833
...my participations in groups.

00:06:32.833 --> 00:06:33.500
Damn.

00:06:34.125 --> 00:06:36.375
-Do you know about the participations?
-Yes.

00:06:51.291 --> 00:06:52.708
Why didn't you ask questions?

00:06:54.958 --> 00:06:55.500
Come on Melissa!

00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:59.291
I did! The teacher wrote them down.
You were right next to me.

00:06:59.291 --> 00:07:01.208
You're like, really saturated, right?

00:07:01.708 --> 00:07:02.250
One...

00:07:04.125 --> 00:07:04.583
Two...

00:07:06.708 --> 00:07:07.125
Three...

00:07:09.291 --> 00:07:09.708
Four...

00:07:11.875 --> 00:07:12.208
Five...

00:07:14.333 --> 00:07:14.625
Six...

00:07:16.833 --> 00:07:17.250
Seven...

00:07:19.166 --> 00:07:19.583
Eight...

00:07:21.375 --> 00:07:21.791
One...

00:07:23.125 --> 00:07:23.458
Two...

00:07:24.291 --> 00:07:24.666
Three...

00:07:25.416 --> 00:07:25.708
Four...

00:07:26.416 --> 00:07:26.791
Five...

00:07:27.416 --> 00:07:27.791
Six...

00:07:28.583 --> 00:07:29.000
Seven...

00:07:29.791 --> 00:07:30.208
Eight...

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:31.458
Nine.

00:07:31.458 --> 00:07:32.625
Count louder! One!

00:07:33.291 --> 00:07:33.750
Two!

00:07:34.416 --> 00:07:34.875

00:07:38.916 --> 00:07:39.416
Seven!

00:07:39.833 --> 00:07:40.541
Continue!

00:07:40.791 --> 00:07:41.208
One!

00:07:41.625 --> 00:07:42.291
Come on!

00:07:42.541 --> 00:07:42.916
Two.

00:07:43.375 --> 00:07:44.208
Louder!

00:07:44.375 --> 00:07:44.791
Three!

00:07:49.458 --> 00:07:51.666
Some beers, let's go
for some beers later.

00:07:51.666 --> 00:07:52.625
Yeah, well...

00:07:53.166 --> 00:07:54.541
Hey, man, check out that chick!

00:07:54.541 --> 00:07:55.791
-Oh, mamma...
-She's pretty.

00:07:55.791 --> 00:07:56.625
She's hot.

00:07:56.625 --> 00:07:57.541
Say something to her, dude.

00:07:57.875 --> 00:07:58.833
Dude, say something...

00:07:58.833 --> 00:07:59.833
You. You say something to her...

00:07:59.833 --> 00:08:00.416
Ummm....

00:08:01.958 --> 00:08:02.666
Mama!

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:03.791
Say something, man.

00:08:04.166 --> 00:08:05.166
Hey, girl?

00:08:05.166 --> 00:08:06.208
Louder, shout it...

00:08:06.208 --> 00:08:06.791
My love?

00:08:08.333 --> 00:08:09.458
Mama!

00:08:09.458 --> 00:08:10.458
Why so alone?

00:08:10.750 --> 00:08:12.708
There goes my mama!!

00:08:14.333 --> 00:08:15.250
Go for it!

00:08:18.375 --> 00:08:19.791
Go for it, my love!

00:08:21.833 --> 00:08:24.208
In this women's fight,
on all four corners...

00:08:24.583 --> 00:08:27.083
Melissa!

00:08:27.083 --> 00:08:28.208
Verdana

00:08:28.208 --> 00:08:29.208
Come and get it.

00:08:37.708 --> 00:08:39.916
That's it!
Go! Go!

00:08:40.541 --> 00:08:42.416
Go! Go!

00:08:44.375 --> 00:08:45.083
That's it!

00:08:45.083 --> 00:08:46.666
Go! Go for it, mama!

00:08:46.833 --> 00:08:48.541
Come on! Kick her ass!

00:08:48.541 --> 00:08:50.166
Go Melissa, do your thing!

00:08:51.666 --> 00:08:53.208
No, no, no!

00:08:59.791 --> 00:09:00.833
Like this! Like this!

00:09:00.833 --> 00:09:01.625
Take that!

00:09:03.208 --> 00:09:06.208
Come on, honey!
Hit her for real, mama!

00:09:06.416 --> 00:09:08.791
Hang on there, girl, hang on!

00:09:09.083 --> 00:09:11.250
I'd take you off the ring!

00:09:11.250 --> 00:09:14.083
Melissa! Go and kick her ass, please!

00:09:14.500 --> 00:09:16.708
Get back into the kitchen!

00:09:17.083 --> 00:09:19.666
Oh, you had to be a man!

00:09:19.875 --> 00:09:21.875
-Is that why you wanted to fight?
-Men. All the same.

00:09:21.875 --> 00:09:23.000
Suck it up, girl!

00:09:23.875 --> 00:09:25.916
Show him who's the boss, Melissa!

00:09:30.125 --> 00:09:31.333
You gonna shout at me?

00:09:40.750 --> 00:09:41.625
Who's gonna win?

00:09:42.041 --> 00:09:43.250
Will Melissa win?

00:09:43.875 --> 00:09:45.250
Time to fly, Melissa!

00:09:46.916 --> 00:09:47.625
That's it!

00:09:49.583 --> 00:09:50.166
Two...

00:09:50.833 --> 00:09:51.541
And nothing...

00:09:54.916 --> 00:09:55.958
Go Melissa!

00:10:03.291 --> 00:10:04.625
One, two...

00:10:38.041 --> 00:10:41.000
I wake up with discipline,
like everyday other day.

00:10:41.208 --> 00:10:43.791
I take a glimpse at my city's news,

00:10:43.791 --> 00:10:46.875
As I walk around
thinking this isn't the triple A...

00:10:46.875 --> 00:10:49.041
This is the reality
of feminicides.

00:10:49.041 --> 00:10:51.958
I fight my demons,
I won't give up.

00:10:51.958 --> 00:10:54.458
The fight isn't in the ring.
The fight is everyday

00:10:54.458 --> 00:10:57.291
Women of the world and
my neighborhood suffering

00:10:57.708 --> 00:11:00.375
From the third rope
and no time limit

00:11:00.375 --> 00:11:03.041
I'll jump on life,
even if I don't make it, I'll try

00:11:03.416 --> 00:11:05.375
A fight with two or three falls...

00:11:05.375 --> 00:11:07.916
Things are violent,
the fight is for our lives...

00:11:07.916 --> 00:11:10.250
The referee's a sellout,
the State is corrupted

00:11:10.250 --> 00:11:12.875
We're being murdered
on the concrete ring

00:11:12.875 --> 00:11:15.541
On the street everyday
we feel anguish

00:11:15.541 --> 00:11:18.000
And you shout at me?
Huh, how ironic!

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.541
I get ready, breathe deep
and leave my house

00:11:20.541 --> 00:11:23.791
I refuse to be a prey
receiving threats from a boy

00:11:23.791 --> 00:11:25.250
on my lips, a huge smile

00:11:25.250 --> 00:11:27.541
as my hair stands on end

00:11:28.250 --> 00:11:30.833
Our revenge
is being happy and staying alive

00:11:30.833 --> 00:11:33.041
She didn't commit suicide
Her boyfriend killed her

00:11:33.041 --> 00:11:36.083
The news of one more feminicide
Woke me up

00:11:36.083 --> 00:11:38.291
Facing blind eyes
and deaf ears

00:11:38.291 --> 00:11:39.708
And a minefield.

00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:41.458
You shout at me?

00:11:41.458 --> 00:11:44.375
Again, you, yes you,
you're shouting at me

00:11:44.375 --> 00:11:47.041
Your harassment's not a compliment,
it's what's killing us.
