Brandishing a chainsaw and promising «shock therapy» to rebuild Argentina, liberal-libertarian candidate Javier Milei was elected president in 2023, overwhelmingly supported by the working class and young people, weary of two decades of crises and corruption.
An eruptive orator with radical and uninhibited proposals, Milei’s approach appears to inspire and rally conservatives around the globe.
Interviewing the President, his supporters and detractors, from Buenos Aires to rural areas, this documentary explores the Milei phenomenon.
Why we like it:
A nuanced portrait of this unconventional, polarising, yet charismatic figure, through very different points of view, from the man himself to the everyday Argentinian.
