The Skin I Live In
He is the author of "José and Pilar" (2010), a documentary about writer and Nobel Prize winner José Saramago, co-produced by Pedro Almodóvar ("Talk to Her", "The Skin I Live In") and his brother Augustín, and Fernando Meirelles ("City of God" and "The Constant Gardener"). In 2011, after a successful international festival circuit, the movie spurred an unprecedented popular movement in Portugal resulting on a petition signed by 1400 people (0.00014% of Portugal's population), which in turn sparked a debate over Portuguese cinema and a campaign for the Oscar nominations in Los Angeles and New York. Currently, Miguel is at the post-production stage of his new documentary, The Meaning of Life, produced by Fernando Meirelles, which has been dealing with issues to raise finishing funds.
