The Kingmaker
Award-winning film-maker Lauren Greenfield explored privilege, capitalism and basic human values in her documentaries The Queen Of Versailles and Generation Wealth. In her new film, the director is granted intimate access to Imelda Marcos as the former first lady of the Philippines uses her knowledge and connections to help her son Bongbong secure the vice-presidency. To achieve this improbable return to power, Imelda attempts to rewrite her family's widely reported history of corruption. She distorts the narrative to paint herself as a proud and patriotic matriarch, who will do whatever it takes to protect her homeland for generations to come.
