Eighteen years ago, the great poet Lorca looked him in the eye and said, "Don't forget me." Now Ricardo Fernandez won't let anyone forget. In 1936, civil war broke out in Spain. The fascists, led by Francisco Franco, won and ruled for forty years. Almost a million lives were lost. The great poet Federico Garcia Lorca was one of the first victims. His murder was one of the enigmas of the war. From the producers of Selena, comes a beautifully-filmed epic spanning a civil war, two continents, and three generations. Andy Garcia stars as the controversial poet whose murder still haunts a nation, Esai Morales as the young journalist determined to discover who pulled the trigger and Edward James Olmos as one of the fascists still willing, years later, to do anything to hide the truth.
