Arizmendiarrieta, el Hombre Cooperativo

Documentary film about the history of Jose Mari Arizmendiarrieta, a Basque priest who started one of the largest cooperative groups in the world. This man became an entrepreneur without moving from Mondragón creating Fagor, Eroski or Caja Laboral among other large number of companies and institutions. His ideology was to place man at the center of economic and business logic in the postwar period.

Sixty years later, the director Gaizka Urresti questions the validity that he has today, Arizmendiarrieta's search for a balance between economic development, competitiveness and humanistic values.

For this documentary, 40 people were interviewed in Euskadi and Rome among relatives and students of their figure.
