About Machera, A Robin Hood from Merida
A documentary with elements of fiction that explores the myth around the character of Luis Enrique Cerrada Molina (1956-1977), the most popular miraculous dead man of the Andean city of Mérida, who lived as a criminal, who was famous for sharing the haul with the poor people of the barrios and the city and for being riddled with bullets in a well-known confrontation with law enforcement officers.
Directed by Charles Martínez, Machera, A Robin Hood from Merida leans on a strong ensemble — Luis de Lima, Melina Hidalgo Llovera, Sergio Alonso — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2008.
