Propaganda

Not a documentary.

Although the film is supposed to document a fraud in the 2006 Mexican election, it falls on its face and instead of presenting facts, it dwells in half truths and the presumption that there was a fraud and that it was so obvious that there is not even the need to document it.

I had higher hopes for it, but along the "Quien es el señor Lopez?" documentaries (also by Mandoki), it is nothing but a piece of propaganda.

I would have to say that its only redeeming factor, is exactly the fact that it is a piece of propaganda, thus documenting the lack of evidence for its arguments.

As with all movies see for yourself and judge, but I would rather use my time watching something else.
