El Presidente (2020) is a satirical, docu-style dramedy created by Armando Bó. It tells the true story of the 2015 FIFA corruption scandal, focusing on the unlikely figure at its center: , the humble, seemingly bumbling president of the Chilean Football Federation (ANFP). Season 1 chronicles his rapid rise and even more spectacular fall after becoming a key informant for US prosecutors.
