PANORAMA
POLITICS, INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL by Fernando León de Aranoa Produced by _Mediapro _ Reposado Producciones Spain, 2014. The economic crisis has left a landscape of social cutbacks, unemployment and street protests. The political debate has taken to the streets, “democracy” is the one of the most searched words on Google. The government invites those unhappy with the system to organize their own party and run for election. A group of activists and university professors accepts the challenge. Politics, Instructions Manual is the story of how Podemos was built, one of the most unexpected and dizzying political processes in recent Spanish history. Filmed with privileged access, and over the course of more than one year, this documentary bears witness to a new, urgent and unknown approach to doing politics. And it constitutes a practical manual about how to elaborate and communicate a political project in only one year.
