Camilo Torres Restrepo (1966)

Filming of the documentary began on the very day news broke of Camilo Torres’s death on February 15, 1966. It captures the reactions of the university student movement (protests, clashes with the police, symbolic burial), footage of the places where Camilo Torres served as a professor in the Sociology Department at the National University and as its chaplain, as dean of the Higher School of Public Administration, at the offices of his newspaper Frente Unido, and shots of news reports regarding his death “somewhere in Santander.”
