1982: La Decisión del Presidente is a fascinating documentary that dives into the complexities of Mexico's economic decline during a time once celebrated as 'The Mexican Miracle.' It unravels how external factors like soaring world interest rates and plummeting oil prices played into the government's narrative, all while inflation was creeping up, creating a tightrope walk for policymakers. The pacing is deliberate, almost contemplative, giving viewers the chance to absorb the weight of the arguments made. The visuals are stark, underscoring the contrasting prosperity and decay that defined the era. There's a palpable tension in the air as the film meticulously pieces together the economic puzzle, making it distinct in its analytical approach rather than just a historical recount.
