Two world-renowned figures of contemporary politics come together to discuss timeless topics and debate alternatives for the José “Pepe” Mujica, former president of Uruguay and an ex-guerrilla whose message of sustainability and common sense won him an international following, and Noam Chomsky, who revolutionized linguistics and has become a beacon for radical thinking around the world.

From the meeting of these peerless figures emerge reflections on the major global issues of our climate change, corruption, populism, the crisis of capitalism, and the logic of the market economy, among many others. Chomsky and Mujica emphasize throughout the values required to survive the challenges of the twenty-first century and build a new democracy, freedom, purposeful living, and friendship. Brought together by filmmaker Saúl Alvídrez, these two radical elders share passion, politics, and wisdom.Two world-renowned figures of contemporary politics come together to discuss timeless topics and debate alternatives for the José “Pepe” Mujica, former president of Uruguay and an ex-guerrilla whose message of sustainability and common sense won him an international following, and Noam Chomsky, who revolutionized linguistics and has become a beacon for radical thinking around the world.
