The Engineer

About This Movie

The Engineer is an intriguing documentary that dives deep into Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano's personal journey during his third presidential run. It's not just about politics, but more about the human experience behind the campaign—his struggles and the atmosphere of that era. The pacing has this almost reflective quality, allowing for moments of introspection. You really feel the weight of the political landscape, especially from the perspective of a defeated party. The film manages to capture a slice of Mexican history that often gets overshadowed, and the raw authenticity is what sets it apart from more polished political docs. It's that kind of film that might make you rethink narratives you've been fed.
