Alex Cox's story of William Walker (Ed Harris), an American soldier
of fortune, whose Latin American escapades in the mid 1800s
continue to have ripple effects in US policy today. When his wife
dies, Walker decides to leave a promising career in politics behind
and, backed by banking magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt, travels to
Nicaragua to make it safe for Vanderbilt's steamships. However,
once there, Walker sets himself up as Nicaragua's president; until
the nation decides they no longer want to be ruled by a mad
'gringo'.
Documentary directed by Nick Hall which attempts to shed some light
on British musician Joe Strummer's relationship with Spain. The
film tells how the former Clash frontman eloped to the Andalusia
region after the band's split and spent several months deepening
his bond with the country and its inhabitants.
