The film "Pepe" sheds light on the life of Pablo Escobar, who controlled 80% of the world's drug trafficking and was involved in 5,000 murders. However, the film tells the story of Pepe, his last hippopotamus, beyond Escobar's billions of dollars in wealth and his complicated life. This fantastic story, stretching from Namibia to Medellín, showcases Pepe as the first and last hippopotamus hunted in America, and his story is told from his perspective. The film gives audiences the overwhelming verbal onslaught of these towns through the voice of a hippopotamus who does not understand the concept of time.
Looking at viewer experiences about the film, we see that Pepe's story is told in both a dramatic and entertaining way. The film, which reveals the void left after Pepe's death and the realities of life, both amuses and makes the audience think.
The film was shot at Pablo Escobar's mansion in Colombia and in Namibia.
