| Summary |
"The Fall Of Fujimori chronicles the life of Peru's former President, Alberto Fujimori who is now the subject of an Interpol arrest warrant for murder and kidnapping. It tells the story of Fujimori's tumultuous presidency and fall from grace. Peruvian born, the son of Japanese immigrants, Fujimori's ethnic background was believed to have boosted his vote among Peru's Native Americans, many of whom hold a historic distrust of their countrymen of Spanish descent. There was also an element of forlorn hope that electing Fujimori might bring Peru some of the economic success that made Japan such a powerhouse. However, from his election in June 1990 to his resignation in November 2000, it was not the economy but his controversial tactics in fighting illicit drugs and terrorism, which came to define the presidency of Alberto Fujimori. Director Ellen Perry uses never-before seen footage from the regime, together with the first in-depth interview since his exile with Fujimori himself, to build an intimate portrait of a modern dictator. (From Peru, in Spanish, English and Japanese, with English subtitles) CC WS " -- website |
