‘Pepe’ Review: The Odyssey OF An Outcast Hippo – Berlin Film Festival


A Hippopotamus is a semi-aquatic animal native to sub-saharan Africa.

At the center of Nelson Carlos de Los Santos Arias ‘ Berlin Premiere film, Pepe is the nickname of the rogue Hippo, who escaped into the South American wilderness and left a trail of destruction in his wake. Voiced by a chorus of actors including Jhon Narváez, Harmony Ahalwa, Fareed Matjila, and Shifafure Faustinus, the Hippo waxes poetically about his own death and the circumstances leading up to it.
