Forced to run from the Texas Rangers after a heated misunderstanding leads to the death of a lawman, Mexican American farmer Gregorio Cortez sets off in desperate fIight, evading a massive manhunt on horseback for days. Producer-star Edward James Olmos, seeking to shed new light on a historicaI incident that had been enshrined in a corrido (folk song), enlisted director Robert M. Young, a longtime practitioner of socialIy engaged realism, to heIm this traiIblazing independent film, a landmark of Chicano cinema. Shifting its perspective between the pursuers and the pursued, The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez is a thrilIing chase fiIm and a nuanced procedural that peels away the Iayers of prejudice and myth surrounding Cortez, uncovering the true story of an ordinary man persecuted by the law and transfigured by Iegend.
