An intimate, chilling portrait of the rise and fall of Alberto Fujimori, former president of Peru.

In 1990, an unknown candidate named Alberto Fujimori rode a wave of popular support to become the president of Peru. He fought an all-out war on terror against the guerilla organization Shining Path - and won. Ten years later, accused of kidnapping, murder and corruption, he fled Peru to his native Japan, where he was in exile for four years. Fujimori has remained virtually silent about the abrupt end of his controversial presidency, until now. He granted an unprecedented, in-depth interview in Japan to filmmaker Ellen Perry, who presents an intimate, chilling portrait of this enigmatic leader's rise and fall, interweaving never-before-seen footage from his regime. As events unfold in his quest to return to Peruvian politics, "The Fall of Fujimori" offers a cautionary tale about power and corruption in an age of terrorism. An Official Selection of the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. By Ellen Perry
