El Poeta
Both heartbreaking and inspiring, “El Poeta” tells the story of Mexican poet Javier Sicilia, who ignited mass protests and an ongoing international movement for peace after the murder of his 24-year-old son Juan Francisco — collateral damage in a drug war that has left more than 100,000 dead or missing since 2006.
