Plot
The film tells the story of Bolívar using basic characters: a tyrannical one representing Spanish oppression, and "Americo," who represents the Latin Americans and their desire for freedom.
Running 75 minutes, the film was designed to appeal to younger audiences with a "cartoony" art style. It was produced entirely digitally over the course of two years. It was screened at numerous film festivals between 2004 and 2007 and, according to Wikipedia, still airs occasionally on Colombian and international television.
