La Derecha Diario Ghibli-style video of Rancho Izaguirre sparked debate on social media
A video made with artificial intelligence created a video of the Teuchitlán case in the animated style of Studio Ghibli
An animation inspired by Studio Ghibli's style and caused with artificial intelligence has reignited public conversation about the horror discovered at Rancho Izaguirre, in Teuchitlán, Jalisco. The video, just 53 seconds long, was shared by the account @carpetapurpura on the social network X, where it quickly surpassed half a million views.
The piece shows scenes depicting everything from the deception of victims with false job offers to the intervention of search collectives and authorities.
Although some criticize the visual stylization of pain, others highlight its value in keeping the memory of the victims alive.
The government's omissions in the case.
Rancho Izaguirre was intervened for the first time in September 2024 by federal and state forces, after a confrontation with alleged criminals. The operation resulted in the arrest of ten people, the rescue of two kidnapped individuals, and the confirmation of one deceased.
Even so, the government of Jaliscodid not adequately protect the site, which allowed crucial evidence to be lost or hidden.
It wasn't until March 2025 that the collective Guerreros Buscadores denounced the magnitude of the horror... charred human remains, clothing, and clear signs of mass violence.
It was then that the Attorney General's Office intervened, in a clear example of how the state government—and by omission, also the federal government—were outmatched by the criminal organization
The Secretary of Security himself, Omar García Harfuch, confirmed that the property functioned as a training center, but admitted that murders were also committed against those who resisted collaboration. The victims were captured through deception, subjugated, and forced to participate in criminal activities.
These revelations describe an organized pattern, where crime operates as an industry, while the State continues to arrive late.
The Attorney General, Alejandro Gertz Manero, also acknowledged that there were serious omissions by the Jalisco prosecutor's office. Like not reporting hundreds of garments and remains later found by searching mothers.
This case highlights that, in current Mexico, governed by Morena, victims must search for their loved ones on their own. Sometimes even threatened, and all while institutions fail time and again.
The official negligence, lack of safeguarding, and slowness of investigations show that the pain of families remains a low priority.
