Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth a Look
Review: This documentary made for Bitish television in the 1980s deals with the roots of the present political crisis in Colombia. It is not, in the final analysis, a film "about" music. Instead, it provides cultural and poltical contexts for understanding and enjoying Colombia cultural production of all types. Still, the music (there is a lot!) is outstanding, the "talking heads", for once, actually have something worth hearing, and the images are searing and memorable, particularly during the last ten minutes or so. Highly recommended.
