Award-winning documentary AFTER THE MURDER OF ALBERT LIMA tells the story of a son obsessed with capturing his father's killer. Paul Lima has spent over a decade seeking justice for his slain father, Albert. Though convicted, Albert's murderer has remained free in Honduras. After years of the legal system failing him, Paul takes the unorthodox step of hiring two bounty hunters to travel with him to Honduras to track down and capture his father's killer. This riveting, and, at times, darkly comedic documentary explores both the importance of family and the dangers of taking the law into your own hands.

3/5
More than once I had to hit pause to investigate if what I was seeing actually happened, but it ended up winning me over with its absurd and equally emotional and healing story. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Adele R Apr 7 This is a riveting story of a son's 13 year obsession to bring to justice the man who killed his beloved father. The murderer, Oral Coleman, was free only because corruption in Honduras allowed him to bribe officials. Was it worth it for a son to live so driven for so many years, possibly risking his own life, if not his very sanity? That's the compelling question I was left pondering, and Albert's son Paul grapples with that as well. See more 04/04/2021 Jokeamentary. Bounty Hunters are running a scam on the kid. Incompetent losers when the woman shows she knows nothing about guns. (Luger is a .22) and shooting a round off in the car. The man is all ego and no skill. Who did the background research on those actors? Whole movie was a good waste of background noise. Scripts were poorly written; probably by the same fools writing the Storage Wars. See more 03/24/2021 A little boring, but still a nice and decent movie regardless. See more Read all reviews
