Former Uruguayan President José Mujica , who died this past Tuesday at the age of 89, is the subject of a documentary available for home viewing, which explores his life, his political legacy, and his profound philosophy. With 15 years of filming and a journey to various corners of the world , the film offers a unique and moving look at one of Latin America's most admired figures.
Directed by Pablo Trobo, a cameraman who accompanied Mujica to various countries for more than a decade, this audiovisual production offers an intimate and philosophical account that departs from conventional discourse.

The film wasn't originally intended to become a movie, but the former president's message, more focused on the meaning of life than on partisan politics, ultimately set the tone for the entire project. Trobo was inspired by Mujica's famous speech before the UN General Assembly, in which he warned about the destructive effects of the global consumer model.
The documentary isn't limited to a biographical portrait; it serves as an urgent call to action regarding the future of the planet. The film's secondary title, "Movement 2052 ," alludes to the year in which, according to its protagonist, the point of no return could be crossed if humanity doesn't radically transform its habits.
Those who want to see this unique look at the thinking and legacy of one of Latin America's most admired leaders can find it on the Filmin platform. Pepe's Dreams brings together previously unseen moments, reflections recorded over fifteen years, and the essence of a message that takes on even greater force following Mujica's announcement that he would not undergo cancer treatment in the United States, but rather in a public hospital in Uruguay.
