Die Ballade von Gregorio Cortez (1983)
Der mexikanische Arbeiter Gregorio Cortez wird in den ersten Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts in Texas aufgrund eines sprachlichen Mißverständnisses vom Sheriff beschuldigt, ein Pferd gestohlen zu haben. Es kommt zu einer Schießerei in deren Folge Cortez’ Bruder und der Sheriff getötet werden. In der Gewißheit keinen fairen Prozeß zu bekommen, flieht Cortez mit 600 Texas Rangern auf den Fersen. Nach 11 Tagen wird er gefangen und später zu 50 Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt.
