Caracol TV Working On Simon Bolivar Series

Caracol Television has revealed its plans to produce Bolivar, Una Lucha Admirable, a new series focused on the life of Venezuelan leader Simon Bolivar.

Bolivar, Una Lucha Admirable will tell the story of the celebrated figure, including his tastes, motivations, personal life and relationship with Manuelita Saenz. Gonzalo Cordoba, Caracol Television’s president, said: “We are excited to undertake this adventure with the story of a wonderful man as Bolivar. To Caracol Television, it is a great challenge to develop this production that represents the most demanding and ambitious one we have ever done.”

Dago Garcia, Caracol Television’s production and contents VP, noted: “We have managed to compose a story that perfectly combines the historic drama of Simon Bolivar’s heroic deeds with his personal and romantic dramas, because if Bolivar has an important story as a politician and a military [leader], he has an even more interesting life as a man who had complex and intense relationships with women. This is a man of universal dimension. Simon Bolivar is the most important Latin American person in the history of mankind, and that’s why this project is supported by a great story, a great script and Caracol’s entire know-how to undertake the most important quest in its history.”

Lisette Osorio, Caracol Internacional’s sales VP, added: “Caracol has always been known as a company that creates innovative products, productions that break every mold. This new production addresses a universal story from a standpoint never taken before. Bolivar, Una Lucha Admirable promises to be an unprecedented production combining the highest production standards with a cast internationally famous that will give life to Simon Bolivar and the historical figures that accompanied him during his epic achievement. This super series recounts the life of a man who left his mark in the history of mankind.”
