0.56% What happened to Mexico?

This is the story of a man who challenged his country’s institutions by proclaiming himself legitimate president. This is the story of how the controversial Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who led the polls during 4 years, lost the election by less than half percent. It all begins while he is still Mexico City’s mayor, up to his self proclamation as president and his actions during the first days of Felipe Calderón’s government.

Directed by Lorenzo Hagerman, 0.56% What happened to Mexico? leans on a strong ensemble — Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Felipe Calderón Hinojosa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2011.
