I Will Be Murdered

In May 2009 Rodrigo Rosenberg, a wealthy and respected corporate attorney, was shot dead when out cycling near his office. He knew he would be killed. Rosenberg's lover had been murdered a few weeks before. 97 percent of murders go unsolved in Guatemala. Rosenberg was driven to investigate things, he told his friends, that would inevitably lead to his death. Just before he was killed, he recorded a video accusing the President, his wife and his top advisor of being behind his own and his lover's deaths, and calling for Guatemalans to rebel. The video went viral. Guatemalans took to the streets to call for the President's resignation.
