“Swiss filmmaker Heidi Specongna traveled to Guatemala and Los Angeles to make a complete portrait of the first Latino killed during the U.S. invasion of Iraq in The Short Life of Jose Antonio Gutierrez, showing tomorrow as part of the Providence Latin American Film Festival.
Gutierrez was killed by “friendly fire” on the first day of battle when U.S. forces invaded Iraq. Other than press reports at the time that glorified him as the first Latino to die in the war, he probably would have remained just another faceless statistic.”
