“I Did Not Kill Galán” tells the story behind the most impactful political assassination in Colombia — and of the innocent man who carried the blame. Alberto Júbiz Hazbún, a Colombian pharmaceutical chemist of Lebanese descent, was accused without evidence of one of the most significant crimes in the country’s history. He spent years in prison, proclaiming his innocence and becoming the investigator of his own case.
Alberto was also my stepfather’s father. His story will be told through his own voice, preserved in dozens of letters written from prison. In them beats a desperate struggle to clear his name and a fierce denunciation of a system that preferred to manufacture culprits rather than deliver justice.
UNCENSORED is a documentary about violence against journalists and the importance of freedom of the press to a free, democratic state. Through the lives of three Colombian journalists, the film recounts the peril journalists endured while covering Colombia’s narcoterrorism violence in the 1980s during the reign of Pablo Escobar’s Medellin cartel, the 1990s during the rise of corruption in the military and 2000s during a behind-closed-doors oppressive administration.
