Guatemala, 10 June 2026.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), with financial support from the Government of Canada, premiered “Click Click”, an educational medium-length film designed to strengthen cybercrime prevention and promote safer digital environments for children and adolescents.
This production is part of initiatives under the project “Strengthening the capacities of the justice and security sector in Central America to prevent, identify and prosecute cybercrime, transnational organized crime, and the management of digital evidence (Phase III)”, funded by Canada’s Anti-Crime Capacity Building Program (ACCBP). It also represents the outcome of joint work between UNODC and Fundación Azteca, aimed at raising awareness and strengthening prevention capacities against risks and crimes affecting children and youth in the digital environment.
Background and context
The script of “Click Click” is a film adaptation of the play “The Faces of Cybercrime”, published by UNODC in 2018, written and directed by Juan Francisco Ramos and performed by the Cuenterete Teatro collective from El Salvador. The play has had significant impact in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, with more than 250 performances in national and international tours, including Fundación Azteca’s Giras Vive. The medium-length film continues and expands that legacy, bringing the message of digital prevention to the big screen.
The production uses puppet theater to tell a story accessible to audiences of all ages. “Click Click” explores crucial themes such as cyberbullying, grooming, sextortion, and phishing, showing how these threats can affect individuals and communities. Through its characters, the film offers practical tools and advice to identify and prevent these crimes, especially targeting children, youth, and their families.
This film is the result of a strategic alliance between UNODC, Fundación Azteca Guatemala, and Televisión Azteca Guatemala, with the purpose of expanding the reach of preventive messages and contributing to building a culture of digital security in the region.
“At UNODC we believe that cybercrime prevention begins with education. ‘Click Click’ shows that art can be a powerful tool to protect children and youth in the digital environment, and is a concrete example of how international cooperation, with the invaluable support of the Government of Canada, can generate creative and high-impact solutions for Central America,” said Gabriel Juárez, Head of the UNODC Regional Office, during the premiere.
Maribel Rincón, General Director of Fundación Azteca Guatemala and Honduras, stated:
“At Fundación Azteca we believe that education is a fundamental tool to prevent risks and transform realities. With ‘Click Click’ we seek to bring children, adolescents, and families a clear, creative, and timely message about the importance of protecting themselves in the digital environment. This alliance allows us to expand the reach of prevention and contribute to building more informed, safe, and resilient communities in the face of technological challenges.”
Additionally, Juan Francisco Ramos, Director of the film, commented:
“Faced with a reality where many children are left alone at home accompanied only by digital technology, we set ourselves the challenge of addressing cybercrime in an entertaining and artistic way.” He added that they sought “a script and style that would connect both with young audiences and their families, so we decided to use puppets and narrate the story from the perspective of children caught in a digital adventure, becoming potential prey for cybercriminals.” He explained that “through our stories, we show how these children, when confronted with risks, become protagonists by resolving situations with the support of their parents and authorities.”
As part of this initiative, the production will later be disseminated in Costa Rica, Honduras, and Panama, expanding the reach of digital security messages and raising awareness about online risks among children, adolescents, families, and communities in the region.
The regional dissemination of this medium-length film reflects the commitment of Fundación Azteca, UNODC, and the Government of Canada to promote preventive and innovative responses to emerging threats in the digital environment, strengthening community resilience and fostering a culture of safe and responsible use of technology.
