Title: Comandante Ibarra
Description: During a routine robbery investigation, Miguel Angel Ibrarra, a National Rural Policeman--one of Mexico's infamous Rurales--stumbles upon an atrocity against the Yaquí People in the state of Sonora in 1900. A slight stroke has led him to question the things that before seemed simple, including his loyalty to the modernizing regime of Dictator Porfirio Diáz, as well as the question of why the rights mentioned in the Mexican Constitution of 1857 should or should not apply to the Yaqui People. His choices have consequences, whereby he must choose between his own safety and needs of people who are the victims of a centuries old genocide.
