Mexican democracy at a crossroads - Documentary film goes on the ground to track the rise of AMLO and MORENA in Mexico.
Winner - FICMARC Best Short Documentary
For much of the last 80 years, Mexico has been dominated by the same political party, which governed via corruption, sham elections, and brute force. In 2018 Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, completed a shocking rise as leader of the new Morena party. What’s behind this new movement? Can it withstand the pressures of rampant corruption and political violence and bring about a new day in Mexico? Or will Morena just be more of the same in Mexican politics?
From the badlands of Juarez to remote indigenous territories of Oaxaca, we track the rise of Morena, and what it means for the future of Mexican democracy.
