directed by: Rodrigo Sorogoyen, year: 2018
actors: Antonio de la Torre, Ana Wagener

El Reino tells the rise and fall of a charismatic regional politician entangled in a sprawling corruption scheme. When a tenacious journalist and a determined prosecutor close in, the story tightens into a claustrophobic political thriller about power, loyalty, and the price of staying in control. Sorogoyen uses tight framing, brisk editing, and stark realism to reveal how media, money, and institutional loyalties shield the powerful and what ordinary people must pay for it.
