The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez

A wrongly accused Mexican-American farmer embarks on a perilous 14-day journey across 1901 Texas, evading a massive posse in a desperate bid to clear his name.

A mistranslation by a deputy with limited Spanish skills leads to a catastrophic mistake, causing the misidentification of the crime's perpetrator and ultimately resulting in devastating consequences for a family and an innocent life lost.
