Petro

May 3—6, 2026
    Part of
  • History as Hashtag: Revolution in the Age of Social Media
  • and
  • BAM Film 2026
Directed by Sean Mattison (2023)
From campaign announcement in September 2021 through to election day, Sean Mattison had unprecedented access to the campaign of now president of Colombia Gustavo Petro. This portrait of the nation’s most charismatic (and polarizing) politician traces historic upheaval in Colombia, and the highs and lows of a progressive movement that altered its political landscape.
