Directed by Paul Taylor (&#8220;<em>We Are Together<\/em>&#8220;) and produced by Rise Films&#8217; Teddy Leifer, the documentary is filled with startling twists and surprises, exposing the violence and corruption of post-war Guatemala&#8217;s fragile democracy through a case that would become a symbol of the country&#8217;s struggle for accountability and justice.<\/p>\n<p>The film interweaves archival footage and photos with present-day interviews of those involved in exposing the truth of Gerardi&#8217;s murder, many of whom speak to his ongoing legacy, including: Ronalth Ochaeta, director of the Catholic Church&#8217;s Human Rights Office (ODHA); Edgar Guti\u00e9rrez, director of the Recovery of Historical Memory Project (REMHI), who worked closely with Gerardi; Francisco Goldman, author of &#8220;The Art of Political Murder&#8221;; human rights activist Helen Mack; journalist Claudia M\u00e9ndez Arriaza; former ODHA human rights investigators Rodrigo Salvad\u00f3, Arturo Aguilar and Fernando Penados; former Guatemalan Public Ministry special prosecutors Otto Ard\u00f3n and Leopoldo Zeissig; private investigator and attorney Jack Palladino; Mynor Melgar, former head of the ODHA legal team; and eyewitness Rub\u00e9n Chanax, whose bombshell testimony at trial changed the course of the case.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3948094006\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Today, posters and graffiti of Bishop Gerardi around Guatemala speak to the legacy of his work &#8211; and the legacy of those who fought to reveal how power seeks to suppress opposition with impunity.
