Mexico! Qué Pasa? follows the popular front-runner for the 2006 presidential elections, Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), in his struggle to uphold democratic values and his constitutional rights, against a system and a status quo intent on stopping him from attaining the presidency. Charismatic and eloquent, AMLO, the ex-mayor of Mexico City who is often compared with Chavez and Lula for his populist rhetoric, argues that the Mexican elite that controls the ruling and ex-ruling parties, the PRI and the PAN, have master-minded a judicial case against him known as "El Encino" as an intent to stop him from running for the 2006 presidency. As Canadians and North Americans, we have a deep interest to know and understand the political plays of our neighbour and important major trading partner. Mexico! Qué Pasa? offers the viewer an open window into the realm of Mexican politics and given its realistic and colloquial approach, it attracts even the most apolitical people and leaves non without a sense of social responsibility. In Spanish.
