Our suggestions
An examination of the life, times, and legacy of Uruguay's last president, José "Pepe" Mujica.
"Pepe Mujica, former President of Uruguay is known as one of the most humble and charitable heads of state not only in his country's history, but in all of contemporary world. This is precisely the focus of this documentary, directed by Serbian filmmaker Emir Kusturica (director of Maradona by Kusturica and winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes for Underground: War Lies). El Pepe, A Supreme Life (El Pepe, una vida suprema) is less an informative documentary and more an honest portrait of the former president, his lifestyle and his legacy (and serves as a complement to the biographical drama A Twelve Year Night)."
