Overview
A documentary retelling the 1915 killings of Jesús Bazán and Antonio Longoria in South Texas after a raid on the McAllen Ranch. Based on the oral history of Roland Warnock, who said he witnessed Texas Rangers from Company D shoot two unarmed Mexican-American men in the back and later helped bury them, the film uses his recorded testimony, archival materials, interviews, and reenactments to revisit the official account and the legacy of anti-Mexican violence by Texas Rangers in the borderlands.
