Menem: The President Show(2025)

Menem: The President Show is a series following the rise of Carlos Menem, a flamboyant Argentine politician who becomes president during a period of national crisis. His unconventional presidency combines radical economic reforms—privatization and dollarization—with personal eccentricities, including consultations with fortunetellers. As Menem navigates terrorist attacks and the tragic death of his son, photographer Olegario Salas documents both the president's transformation and Argentina's turbulent journey toward economic recovery. The series captures a pivotal moment in Argentine history, exploring how one man's ambition and contradictions shaped a nation grappling with corruption, modernization, and loss.
