Political Fiction

Political fiction series have long attracted audiences — blending fiction with reality, revealing the inner workings of power, and often proving to be startlingly prophetic. These series not only grip viewers like thrillers but also provoke reflection on the mechanisms of power, manipulation, the role of the media, the boundaries of freedom, and the responsibility of the individual within the system. Politics on screen often intertwines with the dilemmas of individuals facing the system. These are not only linear narratives but also stories with a semi-documentary edge, presenting multiple perspectives that add depth and credibility — qualities that heighten audience engagement. 
What makes us want to watch such stories? Is it escapism, or a way to confront and understand our own fears and anxieties? We want to explore these questions and examine what drives creators to tackle themes that feel all too relevant. 
This section will feature, among others, The Eastern Gate, Families Like Ours and Moloch.
