A message from our friends at Skylight Pictures / un mensaje de nuestros amigos de Películas Skylight (ver abajo en Español):

"Dear Friend,

Ten years ago, General Efraín Ríos Montt was put on trial for genocide and crimes against humanity committed against the Maya-Ixil people of Guatemala. It was the first time anyone had been tried for genocide against Indigenous People in the Americas. Ever. It took a 30 year quest for justice on the part of the survivors and their legal representatives, plus the political will of bold judges and jurists in Guatemala to reach this moment.

At Skylight, we gathered a group of filmmakers from Guatemala, Colombia, and the U.S. to document the whole trial in real time, from the first gavel strike to the last word of Judge Yassmín Barrios’ verdict. Every few days we uploaded a new episode of highlights from the trial in order to throw the doors of the courtroom open to the entire world. This became the 24-part web series “Dictator in the Dock”. (And later the basis for our feature documentary 500 YEARS.)

Follow along via our page (no account needed to watch) as we re-release all 24 episodes over the course of the next six weeks, ending with the final episode, “The Verdict” on May 10th, 2023. That episode commemorates the conclusion of this dramatic trial with its reverberations throughout Latin America, the world, and above all how it changed Guatemala forever."

"Querido amigo/a,

Hace diez años, el general Efraín Ríos Montt fue juzgado por genocidio y crímenes de lesa humanidad cometidos contra el pueblo Maya-Ixil de Guatemala. Era la primera vez que se juzgaba a alguien por genocidio contra Pueblos Indígenas en las Américas. Jamás se había visto. Fueron necesarios 30 años de búsqueda de justicia por parte de los supervivientes y sus representantes legales, además de la voluntad política de jueces y juristas valientes en Guatemala para llegar a este momento.

Skylight reunió a un grupo de cineastas de Guatemala, Colombia y Estados Unidos para documentar todo el juicio en tiempo real, desde el primer golpe de ma****lo hasta la última palabra del veredicto dictado por la jueza Yassmín Barrios. Cada cuantos días subíamos un nuevo episodio de lo más destacado del juicio para abrir las puertas de la sala al mundo entero. Esto se convirtió en la serie web de 24 capítulos «Dictador en el banquillo». (Y más tarde la base de nuestro documental 500 AÑOS).

Síganos a través de nuestra página de Facebook(no es necesario tener una cuenta para verlo) mientras reestrenamos los 24 episodios a lo largo de las próximas seis semanas, que terminarán con el episodio final, «El veredicto», el 10 de mayo de 2023. Ese episodio conmemora la conclusión de este dramático juicio con sus reverberaciones en toda América Latina, el mundo y, sobre todo, cómo cambió Guatemala para siempre."
