The Fall of Fujimori

documentary

The incredible story of the president the Peruvians called "the little chinaman."

Faced with a crumbling society...two major revolutionary movements, declining economy, ethnic unrest...he used a combination of infrastructure projects and state violence to assert order. Although it is not addressed in this doc he also seems to have embraced international finance.

Things went well for eight years but he got deeply hooked on acclaim, became megalomaniacal and finally bailed when the depth of his government's corruption became public. Oh, and his wife divorced him, ran against him for president and said he had a small dick.

So now he lives in Japan waiting for the call...which will likely never come. Watta story...
