Director Lauren Greenfield
English/Filipino with English subtitles
A jaw-dropping documentary about former First Lady of the Philippines, Imelda Marcos. She and her husband are widely considered two of the greatest plunderers in history, stockpiling assets of an estimated $5-10 billion from the Filipino people. Yet despite their breathtaking corruption and the brutality of President Ferdinand’s 21-year regime, she hopes to become the country’s matriarch once more as her son vies for the vice-presidency. An acute study of the psychology of power and the corruptive effects of extreme wealth,
The Kingmaker expands on Lauren Greenfield’s previous work by depicting someone with an inextinguishable hunger not just for money and things, but for power and legacy too.
