The film discusses the life of Saldaño, including his murder of a man and the resulting death sentence. Viarruel uses material from staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship and Saldaño's mother Lidia Guerrero; he was unable to acquire interview material from Saldaño himself.[1]
Viarruel is a journalist at Radio Nacional de Córdoba. The filmmaker stated: "La película asume la certeza de lo que es y cómo funciona el sistema judicial norteamericano para alguien latinoamericano y pobre como Saldaño" (The film takes on the certainty of the judicial system in then United States and how it works for someone from Latin America and poor like Saldaño).[1] He added that he wanted to obtain a better outcome for Saldaño, but not to exculpate him.[1]
