[PIMPINERO: SANGRE Y GASOLINA]
In the desert bordering Colombia and Venezuela, gasoline smugglers known as "pimpineros" risk their lives transporting illegal fuel from one country to another. When Juan — the youngest in a clan of three brothers entangled in this perilous trade — is forced to work for a sinister rival, the underbelly of the business is laid bare, with tragic consequences. Determined to uncover the gruesome secrets that shroud this no-man's-land, Juan's girlfriend, Diana, embarks on a quest for the truth. This heart-pounding thriller from Andrés Baiz (TV's GRISELDA and NARCOS) world-premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and features bristling performances by Alberto Guerra, Alejandro Speitzer, Laura Osma and Colombian music icon Juanes.
