Sumario:In October, 1914, the liberal politician RafaelUribe Uribe was murdered in Bogota. Ayear later, the Di Domenico brothers, pioneersof Colombian cinema, filmed the movie TheDrama of 15 October, a work that recreated themost important events of the bloody crime,featuring Leovigildo Galarza and Jesús Carvajal,murderers of the leader. For a silent-periodColombian cinema, this film means oneof the most important and risky moves of itscinematographic historic, taking into accountthe situations borne by the exhibition of thefilm, such as boycotting, criticism, and censorship,which finally brought unfortunate consequencesfor its preservation as a work withaudiovisual heritage value. The purpose of thisarticle is to make known the details of a work,politically incorrect at the moment of its making,highlighting through different sourceshow our cinema history is strongly framedby documentary narrations mixing reality andfiction in the social events of a public figure inthe national context.
