David Lamelas adopts the persona of Colonel Riccardo Garcia Perez, ‘dictator, poet, revolutionary’ and overthrown president of the fictional Latin American island of St Ana. Here he answers probing questions from Barbara Lopez (Hildegarde Duane) for the television news programme Newsmakers. These concern his treatment of ‘subversives’ on St Ana, his plans to return to the island and the mysterious circumstances surrounding the ‘tragic accidents’ leading to the deaths of his three wives.
Produced by Long Beach Museum of Art. Long Beach.
