Summary Based on actual events, this political drama tells the story of the 1988 Massacre of El Amparo. In the Venezuelan town of El Amparo, near the border of Colombia, a group of fishermen set off down the Aruca River. But only two men return, their friends shot down by the military, who claim they were clandestine guerrillas on a mission. The army soon arrives to claim the two survivors, held in the local jail, but they encounter an honorable policeman and fiercely loyal population who will do anything to protect the truth as the pressures to stick to the official story become overwhelming
