The Perfect Dictatorship
“Television has already appointed a president... Will it do it again?”
TV MX, the most powerful Mexican Television Corporation, discloses a scandalous story involving Governor Carmelo Vargas in serious crimes and illicit business. Governor Vargas worried about his political future, decides to clean his image and negotiates a billionaire secret agreement with the owners of the TV Corporation. Carlos Rojo, an ambitious young news producer, and Ricardo Diaz, TV network star reporter, are responsible for making a dirty campaign to change the image the public has of the corrupt Governor and make him, at any cost, a political star and a great presidential candidate. Mexican Television believes that democracy is a farce and has already placed one President... Will they do it again?
This film feels like a cynical, biting exposé on the corrupting influence of power and media. It's a sharp, unsettling look at how narratives are manufactured, leaving you questioning the very fabric of political reality.
