The Mexican drama series “Capadocia”, starring Ana de la Reguera, comes to the U.S. on HBO Latino on Wednesday, September 10 at 9PM ET.

Produced in January 2007 by HBO Latin America, “Capadocia” is set in a fictional women’s prison in Mexico City. Corruption runs rampant as prison rights attorney Teresa Lagos (Dolores Heredia) fights for a humane rehabilitation program, while corporate shill Federico Marquez (Juan Manuel Bernal) schemes to privatize the prison and use the women as cheap manual labor.

The series features Ana de la Reguera (Nacho Libre, Paraiso Travel), Alejandro Camacho (Zurdo), Juan Manuel Bernal (El callejon de los milagros), Dolores Heredia (Santitos, Al final del dia), Cecilia Suarez (Spanglish) and was directed by Javier Patron (Fuera del cielo), Carlos Carrera (El crimen del Padre Amaro) and Pedro Pablo Ybarra. The series was produced by Luis F. Peraza, Epigmenio Ibarra and Veronica Velasco and executive produced by Andres Tagliavini, with an original script by Leticia Lopez, Carmen Madrid, Guillermo Rios, Laura Sosa, and Silvia Pasternac.
