Márquez, Gabriel García

This major production delves into the world of One Hundred Years of Solitude and The Autumn of the Patriarch—the world of García Márquez—where historical riots and levitating grandmothers appear to be equally real (or unreal). Shot on the Colombian coast in Aracataca (Macondo), the Banana Zone, Ciénaga, and Barranquilla, and incorporating rare archival footage, the program features the author himself and the people of whom he writes.
