1982: La Decisión del Presidente (2008)
The documentary depicts the decay of one of Mexico's most prosperous macroeconomic situations (the era called "The Mexican Miracle") and the government's responsibility on this matter after increasing world interest rates, decreasing oil prices, rising inflation, a deteriorating balance of payments and a chronically overvalued national currency (Mexican peso), that spurred massive capital flight and a lack of international reserves. These events culminated in three devaluations of the peso in 1982 and the famous nationalization of Mexico's private banking system under the presidency of José López Portillo. -Edgar Cochran-

How sad is this?
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
