Sergio Cabrera

Sergio Cabrera was born in Medellín on 20 April 1950 into a family of exiled Spanish actors, left with his parents for China in 1962, where he finished his schooling at the height of the Cultural Revolution, then returned to his country and joined the Maoist guerrilla, in which he fought for several years before breaking away. He then studied cinema in London, came back to work in television and advertising, and from the late eighties made films that laugh at violence rather than show it. He would sit in Congress, then be ambassador in Beijing. A novelist from his country has made his life into a book.
