Pepe Mujica - The President is a German documentary film by Heidi Specogna about José Mujica , Uruguay's president who ruled from 2010 to 2015 .
content
The film describes four fields of action of the protagonist:
- The private life
- The job in Montevideo as President
- His public speeches
- Trips abroad
In addition to these current recordings, the film also contains archive recordings. They are shown in interviews given by Pepe Mujica. Most of them are black-and-white shots related to a military coup in 1973 and shots of his wife's small farm, which were probably made during the shooting of the 1997 film Tupamaros - José Mújica .
background
The film documents the person Pepe Mujica , who is extraordinary in several ways. He has social significance because he was a state president.
He has a talent for rhetoric. He renounces luxury and status symbols and donated a large part of his pension and did not use it privately. In interviews he explains his understanding of a socialism that had a certain popularity in the 1970s and relates this understanding to his current tasks in the legislature ( legalizing the cultivation of cannabis ) and the executive branch.
The concept of authenticity is brought into focus both by the protagonist and by the film.
