English subtitles
Guatemala 2009. Wealthy and charismatic lawyer Rodrigo Rosenberg
Marzano was shot and killed near his home. A few days later, a video
in which Rosenberg pronounces his contempt for the situation in his
country and its government is uploaded to YouTube. The video closes
with Rosenberg´s words, ¨Unfortunately, ladies and gentleman, you
are watching this video because I was murdered by the President
Álvaro Colom.¨ There began a brilliant investigation, a journey into
