In Variety Robert Koehler wrote of Isordia's work from the Palm Springs International Film Festival that:

Particularly in opening section, 1973 presents an astonishing, intensely complex visual and audio design that sets a new standard for cinematically-stylish non-fiction and transforms the standard talking-head docu.
The subject matter of Los Niños Devoran Lobos, violence among youths, was considered important enough that the rights were picked up for broadcast in 2008 on Tr3s in Mexico and MTV Latin America in Central America and several South American countries including Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. He directed a brief animated introduction to the first Cinema Planeta Film Festival held
in Cuernavaca, Morelos in 2009. He then produced a similar animated short, that was directed by Carlos Armella, which served as an introduction to the second Cinema Planeta Film Festival held in 2010.
