Wiki.
Roa is a Colombian feature film released in 2013 directed by Andrés Baiz. It is a fictionalized account inspired by the final days in the life of Juan Roa Sierra, the man who was blamed for the 1948 assassination of Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, the charismatic liberal candidate for president. The film depicts Roa as an inept and naive pawn who was threatened and manipulated by powerful, shadowy figures into becoming the scapegoat for the assassination.
