Resurrection Blues

Resurrection Blues Resurrection Blues is set in an unnamed Latin American country, where a young, messiah-like revolutionary is captured by the presiding military dictator. General Felix Barriaux seizes the opportunity to improve the country's finances by having the revolutionary executed and selling the television rights.
