Released in 1999, La Ley de Herodes (Herod's Law) is a savage indictment of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which ruled Mexico for 71 years at the time. The plot follows Juan Vargas, a naïve, well-intentioned bureaucrat sent to the fictional, destitute municipality of San Pedro de los Sures. His mentor gives him a simple rule: "Herod's Law" — "Either you shit or you get out of the pot" (meaning: cooperate with the corrupt system or be destroyed by it). Within weeks, the gentle Vargas transforms into a brutal, embezzling cacique (local boss), complete with a pet pig and a gun.

The film was so inflammatory that its release was threatened with legal action, and it was initially banned in several Mexican states. It has since become a cult touchstone, perfectly diagnosing how absolute power corrupts absolutely, even in a "democracy."
