    • John Roberts is a British trader, chronicler and spy. During the war of independence in Río de la Plata he is dazzled by the figure of one of the revolutionary leaders: José Artigas.
      To unveil the mysteries of this intriguing military chief,
      interviews collaborators, friends and also his enemies.
      In 1840, Artigas lives in exile in Paraguay. John Roberts goes into the Guarani jungle to meet with him for the
      interview with him for the last time, and thus review the most significant moments of his history: the revolution, the exodus, of the oriental people, the apogee of Artiguismo, and the betrayal.
      Artigas dreamed of a great, democratic, republican and federal homeland: where no one is more than anyone else.
      Indians, slaves, peasants and gauchos joined his ranks.
