Juan Felipe Cano and Mateo Stivelberg’s latest Amazon offering, Los Billis, introduced us to a group of upper-middle-class teenagers called the Billis who lived in the city of Bogota. They were deemed cool and confident, and they were seen as role models for those living in the suburbs. Los Billis took place in a time before the Columbian and American governments waged war against drugs and its biggest kingpin in the world, Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaveria. It was the time when the world was still living under the fear of the Cold War, and teenagers were on the lookout for ways to appear cool by donning Levi jeans, picking unnecessary fights, and listening to American rock music on the Walkman.

Everyone collided one fateful day in 1993. Beatriz (Liseth Delgado) and Lizeth (Karen Osorio) left school and cheered up sad little Mateo (Sebastián Carreño) before a speeding car passed and crashed a few feet away. Engulfed in flames, the driver (Carlos Fernando Pérez) screamed as he fought to escape the wreckage. The teens ran to the burning man to suppress the fire with their jackets, saving him until an ambulance could arrive. It was a harrowing moment captured on a roll of film inside Beatriz’s camera—one shot even immortalizing the victim’s daughter Florencia as the two of them rode away.
