The two actors and friends teamed up with rocker Peter Gabriel's Witness human rights organization and Mexico's Commission for the Defense and Promotion of Human Rights to stage the $300-a-head event.
At a press conference before the gala, Bernal congratulated filmmakers for bringing light to terrible acts: "Documentaries show us the injustices in the country where we live, that this problem exists. We can't escape it."
Luna and Bernal have launched a new production company, Canana, and plan to make a series of documentaries aimed at raising awareness about failures of the Mexican judicial system.
