The hard one reality behinds of the ambulance service in the Mexico City was brought to the screen in the documentary Midnight Family, which shows that in the absence of this government service, people take the initiative to save lives and seek remuneration in exchange, which today is a television series.
“For me, it is important to bring this story to the screen because the job of these people is to save lives, and saving a life seems to me to be something that is priceless and we are talking about a community of anonymous heroes dedicated exclusively to it and not only without recognition and much less a salary.
“Yes, in this case we are talking about the pirate ambulances as they are called or from private ambulances, which provide a free service and with the hope that they can receive compensation, but many times this does not happen due to the poverty that can be experienced in these circumstances,” he declared. Joaquín Cosío, in an interview with this medium.
Known for roles that impact Mexican popular culture, on this occasion, Cosío gives life to Ramon Tamayo, the head of this family, who takes the ambulance late at night to rescue people, and considers himself a real-life person who deserves recognition.
“I don’t know how much of an impact it can have. Ramón, He is an absolutely ordinary character, he has nothing to do with others that I have played; However, his value is that of being a man of the street, a common character, but extremely bold within his appearance or ordinary being,” said Cosío.
Furthermore, the actor recognized the hero quality of his character, which he assures: “he teaches us a lot about how he can sacrifice and dedicate everything for your family”.
