## Synopsis

Herod's Law is a 1999 Mexican satirical black comedy political film, directed by Luis Estrada and produced by Bandidos Films.

Notably, it was the first Mexican film to criticize the PRI explicitly by name, which sparked controversy and led to interference from the Mexican government because of it.
