Crónica De Una Muerte Anunciada

Directed by Jorge Alí Triana
Presented in Spanish with live English translation

Chronicle of a Death Foretold is set against the backdrop of a small Colombian town and explores the chain of events, false accusations, petty errors and biases that lead to the unnecessary, yet pre-determined murder of a young man. It is a tightly woven tale that reflects García Márquez's inimitable spin on "magic realism", exploring the antiquated moral codes, the conspiracy of silence, and the explosive issues of race and class that lead the story to its tragic ending.
