Synopsis
Owing to extensive research, this tour de force by Fabrizio Mejía is a hyperrealist portrait of the life of former Mexican President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz and the type of political ideas, measures and flaws that made his presidency possible. One of the most polemic characters in Mexican history— perhaps the most feared and hated—Diáz Ordaz was the first president to use slaughter as a form of power and was judged as the primary party responsible for the 1968 student massacre in Mexico City. He died in exile, in a world he was never able to understand.
