Love in the time of revolution, part 2

Pepe and Lucía: the bonfire of young love, a long separation, and rise to presidency. The guerrilla lovers finally meet and fall for each other, but their joy is shortlived, they’re soon arrested again – and this time there won’t be any escape. Uruguay’s military coup means that the couple are separated by 13 years of brutal detention. When they’re granted amnesty, they find their way back to each other, and enter the political fray, all the way up to the presidency. Presenter: Andrea Kennedy Producer: Louise Morris Dubbing by Fede di Lorenzo and Elizabeth Rhodes Clips courtesy of Euro News, RDTV, France 24 and SBS.
