Riot police
, one of Movistar + 's main fiction bets for the new season, is a
thriller
that delves into the -often- controversial figure of the Police anti-riot units.
But behind the shields there are human beings.
Rodrigo Sorogoyen
is the director of this series that not only brims with action but also contains a human psychological diversity reading.
"The first time we met with a riot police in Madrid, during the long documentation phase of the series, he broke our schemes," say Rodrigo Sorogoyen and
Isabel Peña
, screenwriter of
Anti
-
riot
.
"The second time it happened again. And the third and fourth," they add: "Of course, we loved that: seeing how our preconceived image of who these guys were crumbled and behind it, people simply appeared."
"Who are these guys? What goes through their heads while they work? What do they feel when they return home? And, above all, is it possible that they and we have something in common?"
With these questions in mind, Sorogoyen and Peña drew up the profiles of their riot police.
