Night of the Beast (2020)
Do you have the force to hold on to your Iron Maiden tickets? Using some of Iron Maiden’s most famous tracks, such as Aces High and The Trooper, Mauricio Leiva-Cock tells the story of two young metalheads coasting aimlessly through Bogota’s alleys on the day of Iron Maiden’s first-ever concert in Colombia. Their day is wrecked and their friendship is tested when hoodlums steal their most valued possession: the tickets to see their favorite band perform live.
