(…) Al Borde operates within the system, (but) with a deep understating of constraints and the clarity that even if for a marginal victory, every battle is worth fighting. It is the rebellion of counterculture put to service of the common good. It ultimately reveals the importance of working within a given framework: either you accept it —a condition for any real battle— or you opt to remain in the comfort zone of complaining intellectually and theoretically about the framework and never actually do anything about it.
