Luis Argueta

Luis Argueta was born on 7 November 1946 in Guatemala City. A scholarship holder of the University of Michigan to study industrial engineering there, he turned to film and in 1988 founded in New York a company that mainly produced advertising films, in particular for the Spanish-speaking public of the United States. He has since made documentaries on Guatemalan migrants, and in August 2015 received the Order of the Quetzal at the rank of grand officer, the first filmmaker to receive his country's highest distinction.
