Synopsis
A three-part documentary examining the rise and decline of Mexico's one-party system and the forces of the 20th century that have shaped modern Mexico. The first segment, "Revolution: 1910-1940," explains the importance of the Revolution of 1910 and how the institutions of contemporary Mexico evolved during the 1920s and 1930s. The second segment, "From Boom to Bust: 1940-1982," explores Mexico's rise to prosperity from the 1940s through the 1960s and its descent into economic ruin by 1982. The third segment, "End of an Era: 1982-1988," focuses on the government of Miguel de la Madrid, who took office in 1982, and the emergence in 1988 of a political opposition that radically altered Mexico's political landscape.
