Pepe and Lucía: the guerrilla lovers who became the leaders of Uruguay
When they were younger, José Pepe Mujica and Lucía Topolansky separately joined a left-wing insurgency set on overthrowing the country's government.
They wouldn't meet for years but they were on the same mission. Each went underground, cutting ties to friends and family while their group, the Tupamaros, carried out bank heists to fund the uprising. The law soon caught up with them both, but neither were prepared to stay behind bars for long.
Presenter: Andrea Kennedy
Producer: Louise Morris
Dubbers were Elizabeth Rhodes and Fede di Lorenzo
