Documentary Examines what makes José “Pepe” Mujica’s story like no other: a humble man who became his country’s president by sticking true to his beliefs and at the same time embracing change. It is the story of a political activist and a former guerrilla fighter from the Latin American left. He is proud of his past but far from resting on his laurels, he is a man who also dares to dream of a better future.

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"A less than searching, at times uninformative portrait (...) Kusturica’s film nevertheless gives a warm, vivid impression of Mujica’s personality and values."	NEU
United States	John Serba Decider	"An insightful biodoc. If you’re tempted to call it propaganda or hagiography, I don’t think you’re looking deeply enough."	POS
	Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa	"A genteel portrait (...) For the most part, Kusturica is happy to sit back, smoke a cigar and let Mujica have his moment."	POS
