Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Puenzo based the tannery corruption on real environmental disasters in Argentina's wetlands, where chromium pollution has devastated Indigenous communities for decades.
The title 'Cromo' refers to chromium—the toxic element at the story's center, and a sly nod to how the men 'chrome' their own narratives to seem heroic.
