The Kingmaker

Centered on the indomitable character of Imelda Marcos, the film examines, with intimate access, the Marcos family’s improbable return to power in the Philippines. The film explores the disturbing legacy of the Marcos regime and Imelda’s present-day push to help her son, Bongbong, win the vice-presidency. To this end, Imelda confidently rewrites her family’s history of corruption, replacing it with a narrative of a matriarch’s extravagant love for her country. In an age where fake news manipulate elections, Imelda’s comeback story serves as a cautionary tale.
