The history of Mexico has been forged by the rise —and spectacular fall— of the powerful, shaped in the darkest rooms, in chambers filled with lies. There, schemes were devised that went terribly wrong. And yet, we find ourselves paralyzed before their authors: grim figures with dreams, ambitions, and obsessions so vast that no rule, law, or sense of shame or honor can contain them. We watch in fascination as their boundless greed makes them stumble. We also see them fall silent when, every once in a while, justice is done. In DramaMex, we delve into Mexico’s most mind-bending stories to explore not only what happened, but why. From sports to politics, business, and culture, we uncover the figures who, aiming for the stars, ended up consumed by infamy.
