Granito: How to Nail a Dictator

Filmmaking can be a means of recording memory, and in this hard-hitting documentary, an accusation against murderous brutality. Pamela Yates’ camera was an unimpeachable witness during the Guatemalan civil war. For this investigative documentary carried by the epic breath of history, for striking images of the Dirty War recorded up close in its cruel logic, for a relentless indictment that does not shy away from naming and shaming the authors of crimes against humanity, the jury of the journal Séquences awards Best Documentary prize in the First Peoples’ Festival 2012 selection to Granito: How to Nail a Dictator.
