Plans for the public screening had been announced a little over a week before, with confirmation from Ciudad Juarez Municipal President-elect Armando Cabada.

However, the road to the event proved as winding as the Snake Road. Toei Animation caught wind of the event and issued a statement saying they did not authorize a public screening. The animation company then requested to shut down the event citing copyright laws.
