The Engineer(2012)
A portrait of the personal journey of Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano during his third presidential campaign.

A fundamental piece of the history of Mexico that usually does not reach the public, for it is not written by the victorious; it’s akin to being invited backstage at an unimaginable performance. This story lacks scandal or corruption. It shows how politics takes place in the highest levels in Mexico and shows the human side of a popular leader.
