Higuita: The Way of the Scorpion is a documentary written and directed by Luis Ara about the life of René Higuita, one of the most charismatic players of his generation.
René Higuita was a goalkeeper who, in his own way, changed the world of football. He was a goalkeeper who took penalty kicks, ventured out of his goal and made incredible plays to capture the attention of adoring fans who flocked to the stadium to see what René Higuita would come up with that afternoon.
Off the field, he was an idol as well: a man who enjoyed the nightlife and reveled in the world of fame, rubbing shoulders with high-profile figures in various ways. He had powerful friends involved in the drug trade and found himself entangled in scandals of all sorts.

Scroll down for photos of the Vendetta mask at protests around the world.
"They're very meaningful masks," said Alexandra Ricciardelli, who was rolling cigarettes on a table outside her tent in New York's Zuccotti Park two days before the anniversary of Fawkes' failed bombing attempt.
"It's not about bombing anything; it's about being anonymous – and peaceful."
