Arbenz & Co Productions

We were established in 2012 to communicate the stories of the Arbenz Family; From the CIA masterminded ‘coup de tat’ which removed the democratically elected ‘President Jacabo Arbenz’ from rule in Guatemala, the families subsequent escape, the trials of the family thereafter and the final reckoning in a New York Courtroom in 2004 when Arbenz’s Grandson ‘Erick Arbenz’ successfully took the Government of Guatemala to trial. The story became New York Times Best Seller’ The Devil’s Chessboard’ by David Talbot, and now the story will move from the page to the screen with a Feature Film and a Documentary Mini-series for Streaming Television.
