GABO: THE CREATION OF GABRIEL GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ [Gabo, la magia de lo real]
Screening supported by WETA
The incredible story of “Gabo,” or, as most of the world knows him, Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez, comes to life in this wonderful documentary. Born in a small town on the Caribbean coast of Colombia amid poverty and violence, García Márquez rose above his circumstances to author the acclaimed masterpieces "100 Years of Solitude," "The Autumn of the Patriarch" and "Love in the Time of Cholera." García Márquez became involved with major political struggles during the ‘70s and ‘80s, lending support by way of his fame, his influence and his writing. Filmmaker Justin Webster blends archival footage, excerpts from Gabo’s writing and personal interviews to weave the intricate tale of this extraordinary man. Official Selection, 2015 Cartagena, Lima Film Festivals.
