This is a very well made film, even more so considering the budgetary limitations of the Venezuelan film industry. Beatriz Valdes plays the part of the legendary South American patriot superbly, and even though the English subtitles are faithful to the dialog, somehow the poetry and imagery of the language is lost in the translation (to the detriment of non-Spanish speaking viewers)
