Ruben Salazar: Man in the Middle
Phillip Rodriguez, USA, 2014, 57 min.
A one-hour documentary that examines the life and mysterious death of pioneering journalist Ruben Salazar. At the heart of the story is Salazar's transformation from a mainstream, middle of the road reporter to a supporter and primary chronicler of the more radical Chicano movement of the late 1960s. Killed under mysterious circumstances by a white law enforcement officer in 1970, Salazar became an instant martyr to the Latino community, which had sometimes criticized his reporting during his lifetime. Adding to the Salazar mystique is that the details of his killing have been obscured in the ensuing four decades since his death. Directed by the maker of acclaimed documentaries such as Race 2012 and Los Angeles Now, Ruben Salazar: Man in the Middle features material from recently released files obtained by the filmmaker.
