  If you could relive one memory from your life, what would it be?

  The Kingmaker 2019

  ★★ Watched 13 Apr 2020

  Greenfield appeared more fascinated in than critical of Imelda as a singular political force. After all, Imelda made her out-of-touch decisions and delusions of grandeur unequivocally on her own terms. So when Imelda is framed as a “kingmaker” (for supporting Duterte, among other reasons), it fails to capture the frustrating circularity of Philippine politics; The Kingmaker disappoints inasmuch as it glosses over the political context Imelda thrives in and one that placed her back in power.
