Sexenios
In 1934, Lazaro Cardenas was elected to the first six-year term of government in post-revolutionary history. From that first six-year term, the political system that prevailed throughout the century was outlined with its main characteristic: the almost absolute power of the president in office. This documentary series takes a closer look at the lives and regimes of ten of the men who ruled Mexico under that principle. It contains the biographical keys that marked their childhood and youth; the economic, industrial, agrarian and educational policies of their governments; its great projects and achievements; its crises, mistakes, and balances (always indebted, by the way, to the democratization of Mexico). Sexenios is an approach to the biography of power in our country, which at the same time offers a broad panorama of the Mexican twentieth century.
