This documentary chronicles Diomedes Díaz’s rise as one of Colombia’s most iconic singers, and his downfall after being accused of killing a fan.
"Diomedes Díaz was one of the greatest legends of music in Colombia, becoming a reference for cumbia and vallenato. Nicknamed "El Cacique de la Junta," he was a constantly controversial character full of light and dark moments, between struggles with drugs and alcohol, as well as legal problems. Because of the nature of its protagonist, 'Diomedes: The Idol, the Mystery and the Tragedy' is a documentary with the virtue of portraying a very important side of Colombian culture, while at the same time not going too deep into the life of its subject. That said, it is a film that will leave fans of Colombian popular music or those curious about one of its greatest references satisfied."
