What would you do if your dead father showed up asking for revenge?
Manifest Destiny, Manuel Ortiz’s second installment in his “American Mythology” trilogy, puts Hamlet’s age-old question to the test in this Chilean telenovela-meets-documentary-theater comedy. Starting from a very real car-bombing in the 70s that killed an American and a Chilean citizen in Washington D.C., Manuel blends reality and fiction with Cold-War-era spies, Latin assassins, a take on Alex Trebek and Missus America herself to form a genre-bending revenge play that awakens the ghosts that haunt both nations.
