Influjo Psíquico

The documentary feature “Psychic Influence” explores the phenomenon of lawfare in Ecuador, spotlighting the case of Rafael Correa, the country’s president from 2007 to 2017. The film commences with a public statement by Diana Salazar, Ecuador’s Attorney General, who uses the term “psychic influence” to describe the alleged mental manipulation by Correa, influencing his cabinet to commit crimes. This serves as a springboard into a deeper investigation of the lawfare phenomenon.

Throughout the documentary, a diverse range of voices, including legal professionals, experts in Latin American politics, and both conservative and progressive political leaders, offer their insights. They dissect the judicial sentence against Correa, examining the role of media, the manipulation of legal systems for political ends, governmental responsibilities, and how such dynamics foster societal consent. The film aims to provide a comprehensive view of how lawfare can be weaponized within political arenas, affecting leadership and governance.
