What Roa Is About

The few days leading to 9 April 1948, in Bogotá. The film is about Juan Roa Sierra, the man held to have killed Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, the dissident Liberal politician who stood a very strong chance of winning the 1950 presidential election. Andrés Baiz builds a fictional account on real ground. The rising and the wave of violence that broke out in Bogotá after the assassination is remembered as the Bogotazo, and it set the course of the country's history afterwards. The film opened on 9 April 2013, timed to the anniversary. Whether Roa acted alone is still disputed, and the film does not close that question.
