Overview

This documentary reconstructs, based on the testimonies of those who knew him, the family, intellectual, artistic, and political life of Manuel Cepeda Vargas, the communist senator who was assassinated on August 9, 1994. In addition to portraying a left-wing activist, this biographical sketch offers a previously unseen perspective on something only now coming to light: his sensitivity, cultivated through poetry, painting, ceramic sculpture, and journalism. We witness a symbiosis between art—practiced privately, without any aspiration for recognition, though it was well deserved—and politics. In both pursuits, he expressed his rebellion against the established order.
