Plot

Taita Boves chronicles a thirst for revenge that devastated a country.

He went from seafarer to pirate, horse smuggler to prosperous merchant, prisoner to military chief. Spanish by birth, he spearheaded a grass roots troop of slaves, mulattoes, Indians and mestizos that crushed Simón Bolívar and his patriot army.

This film is about his passions and power, his loves and misadventures, and a bloody saga that rocked Venezuela.
