Movistar Plus+ Premieres 'La Última Llamada' With Four Former Spanish Prime Ministers

A four-part documentary probes the solitude of power at La Moncloa through first-person accounts of decisive national crises.

Overview

  • The series is now streaming on Movistar Plus+ and is produced with Kowalski Films, Feelgood Media and True Story.
  • Felipe González, José María Aznar, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and Mariano Rajoy recount how they faced pivotal moments while in office.
  • Director Álvaro de Cózar says the project shifted from an initial focus on advisers to featuring the presidents themselves, after more than a year of production with their full cooperation.
  • Episodes revisit ETA terrorism and the Miguel Ángel Blanco case, the 11-M attacks, a threatening call to Zapatero attributed to 'Thierry' and Rajoy’s decisions around Article 155 and his ouster by a no-confidence vote.
  • As highlighted by El País’s coverage of the series, Aznar asserts his government told the truth after 11-M and declines to acknowledge error over the Iraq War.
