One of the most influential men in the history of Mexico, the archetype of the military leader who with an iron fist consolidated and modernized the Mexican national State. After half a century of wars, social upheaval and instability, Porfirio Díaz managed to seize power and pacify for more than thirty years one of the largest and most complex nations in America. Some consider him the peacemaker who brought economic development and order to Mexico, others see him as a great repressor, the black character of Mexican history, one of the most singular lives of the time. His life is also the story of the different decisive stages for Mexico. Script author: Patzzy Salazar and Reinaldo Carrillo. Narrator and video editor: Reinaldo Carrillo.
