Oscar-nominated Spanish filmmaker Rodrigo Sorogoyen (“Mother”) cut his teeth in TV a decade ago before migrating to cinema, co-directing 2013’s “Stockholm” and his own breakout solo feature “May Go…

The arrival of “Riot Police” could hardly be more timely. On Oct. 1, 2018, heavily armed and armored paramilitary police forces were sent to Barcelona by the federal government, where they engaged in a series of violent, heavy-handed clashes with unarmed Catalan separatist protesters. After five years in cinema and a string of international festival hits, Sorogoyen returns to TV a changed filmmaker.

“I look to do something that is believable, both to my own satisfaction and for the public,” Sorogoyen says. “There are many honest ways to tell a story well, but I always try to find something from the characters’ own perspectives to show me the way.”
