Still a Mystery

Without spoiling the surprise conclusion, this Murder still seems to be a Mystery over 10 years later. The government / UN appointed investigator seemed professional and certainly reached a conclusion the family, government of Guatemala, and people of Guatemala could accept, but some issues remain unanswered / glossed over in the film:

  • it seems very coincidental that the collateral / perhaps contributing Murder of Rodrigo Rosenberg's client and love interest was murdered on the same day she was said to be planning on telling her husband she was leaving him. The husband was not named or featured in the Documentary.


  • Another strange coincidence according to Wikipedia, is that 7 of the 11 people arrested for these crimes were involved in both Murders. This seems almost beyond belief if the official conclusion is accepted.


  • In the Documentary it was mentioned that Rodrigo Rosenberg's brother was violently murdered and partially decapitated as well as 2 of his nephews. It seems that Death Threats against oneself or one's family are a way of life in Guatemala and should be taken seriously. Threats against Rodrigo Rosenberg's immediate family might have greatly influenced his decision making towards the end of his life and encouraged him to play ball, for his family's safety, so to speak.


At the end of the day, this was a good Documentary and to paraphrase the last line of Chinatown (1974):

"Forget it Jake, it's Guatemala"

Amazing

This documentary is amazing and has left me in thought. I will say no more , as I don't want to spoil it for any prospective viewer. I can't recommend any more more strongly.

I Will Be Murdered proves the truth is often stranger than fiction. Like really, really stranger.

In 2009 Guatemalan lawyer Rodrigo Rosenberg was shot to death with out for a Sunday morning bike ride. Rosenberg may have been chalked up as yet another victim of Guatemalan violence and extraordinary murder rates – until his friend stood up at his funeral and announced that anyone who wanted to know what really happened to Rosenberg should watch a DVD being proferred. In his video testimonial, Rosenberg utters the chillingly phrase, "If you are watching this, sadly I have been murdered." Then he goes a step further and names his killer – Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom.

The truth is sometimes really stranger than fiction and director Justin Webster's I Will Be Murdered bears this out. Through a combination of interviews with friends, family, and investigators and closed circuit surveillance footage, Webster manages to tease out the true story of Rosenberg's death. It's a tale with many twists and turns, that manages to be both confusing and illuminating. It's hard to imagine proving that the president of any country, even one so violent and corrupt as Guatemala is guilty of hiring hit men to kill trouble makers, but – without giving to much away – I promise you it's harder still to imagine the truth behind the murder of Rodrigo Rosenberg and his beyond-the- grave testimony.

Again, I've no desire to spoil. I Will Be Murdered is a Hot Docs must see. Period.
