A year into Javier Milei's presidency, DW Documentary checks in on a country split between hope and hardship. Poverty has climbed past 50% since the self-described anarcho-capitalist took office promising "shock therapy" for an economy long strangled by inflation. The film gathers farmers, students, pensioners, trade unionists, journalists, and entrepreneurs to weigh what Milei's cuts have actually done: ministries abolished, public media funding slashed, subsidies removed. Business owners betting on his reforms sit alongside families who say the reforms have gutted their income. Interviews move between Buenos Aires offices and working-class neighborhoods, letting supporters explain why they wanted a break from the old political class and letting critics describe what that break has cost them. No narrator tells you who is right; the film simply lets both camps make their case and lets the poverty numbers sit in the frame as the fact neither side disputes. It is a snapshot of a country still deciding whether it is watching a cure or a collapse.
