Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Venezuela's democratic era, the film anticipated the Caracazo uprising and creeping authoritarianism that followed.
The real GATO group was a police death squad; director Clemente de la Cerda was killed in a car accident two years later, cutting short a career that might have rivaled Latin America's great political filmmakers.
