Explore freedom, power and the biggest challenges of the 21st century with two extraordinary figures
Two world-renowned figures of contemporary politics come together to discuss transcendental topics and debate alternatives for the future: José Pepe Mujica, former president of Uruguay and an ex-guerrilla who has gained enormous international popularity for his message of sustainability and common sense, and Noam Chomsky, an intellectual who revolutionized linguistics and later addressed a wide range of humanistic and political topics of profound importance.
Mexican documentary filmmaker Saúl Alvídrez brought these two pivotal figures together for a fruitful exchange of ideas. From the meeting of these voices emerge reflections that allow an approach to many of the major issues that the world currently faces: the consequences of climate change, corruption, populism, the crisis of capitalism and its successive mutations, the logic of the market economy, and problems of production, among many others.
Chomsky and Mujica emphasize throughout the values that must be taken into account to move towards a sustainable future: democracy, freedom, purposeful living, love, and friendship are here the pillars from which to build a new world.

Noam Chomsky (age 95) According to the New York Times, "judged in terms of power, range, novelty and influence of his thought, Noam Chomsky is arguably the most important intellectual alive today." Chomsky is an American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, social critic, and one of the most iconic activists of our times. He is institute professor emeritus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and laureate professor of the University of Arizona and the author of more than 100 books. José "Pepe" Mujica (age 88) José Mujica was a "Tupamaros" guerrilla in the days of the Uruguayan dictatorship. He spent almost 15 years in prison. He served as the 40th president of Uruguay from 2010 to 2015.
