Description:

This compelling documentary delves into the extraordinary life of José Mujica, a remarkable figure in Uruguay's political landscape. Born in 1935 as the son of a railway worker, Mujica's journey from humble beginnings to becoming a guerrilla fighter and eventually a politician is nothing short of captivating. The film explores his time spent as part of a clandestine armed group that opposed the military dictatorship in Uruguay during the 1960s and 70s, which ultimately led to his imprisonment for over a decade. Despite facing numerous challenges, Mujica's unwavering commitment to social justice and human rights remains at the forefront of this inspiring tale. As President of Uruguay from 2010 to 2015, Mujica surprised the world with his humble lifestyle, donating a large portion of his earnings to charity and living modestly on a small farm. This documentary is a testament to the power of personal conviction and the enduring impact one person can have on their country's political landscape.
