Granito - How To Nail A Dictator

Sometimes a film makes history; it doesn't just document it. So it is with Granito, the astonishing new film by Pamela Yates and colleagues. Part political thriller, part memoir, it transports us back in time through a riveting, haunting tale of genocide and returns to the present with a cast of characters joined by destiny and the quest to bring a malevolent dictator to justice.

As if a watchful Maya god were weaving back together threads of a story unraveled by the passage of time, forgotten by most, our characters become integral to the overarching narrative of wrongs done and justice sought that they have pieced together, each adding their granito, their tiny grain of sand, to the epic tale.

"The film is gripping. But not only that, it is in itself evidence of the importance of filmmaking. If you think films can't change the world, see this film and think again." Jennifer Merin, About.com
