A documentary television program on geostrategy, military intelligence, and the rearrangement of international power. Direction by Ferminius. Editorial spine and on-air analysis by United States Army Captain Luis Manuel Rolle. Produced by Digital Media 305 in Miami across 2022 — 2023.
The world is going through a rearrangement driven by technology, accessibility, and tensions that are not always visible to the naked eye. Epicentro Global examines those forces directly — the intelligence agencies that shape state decisions, the military doctrines that govern modern conflict, and the realignments that define the current decade.
Each episode treats its subject seriously and at depth. The program assumes a viewer capable of holding complexity without simplification — a viewer who wants to understand the architecture of international power rather than its surface.
The editorial spine is provided by Captain Luis Manuel Rolle, an active officer of the United States Army whose analytical commentary anchors the program's military and intelligence segments. The narrative direction and visual language are the work of Ferminius; production, editing, sound design, and visual effects are executed by Digital Media 305 in Miami.
The result is a sixteen-episode editorial arc — coherent, sourced, and consistent across a complex subject area that few Spanish-language productions cover with this discipline.
Across sixteen episodes, Epicentro Global develops a coherent map of the contemporary geopolitical and military landscape. The principal subjects:
Operational planning from the first weeks: the collapse of the three-day victory thesis, the resilience of Kyiv, the destruction of the Russian armored advance, and the supply-line failures in the Donbas theater that left forces without fuel or armament.
Structural histories of the major intelligence agencies — how each was founded, what each was designed to do, and how doctrines diverge between agencies of totalitarian states and those of democratic ones.
The hybrid contract-conscript system, the role of the Spetsnaz brigades across five military districts, the use of foreign mercenaries, and the gap between projected strength and battlefield performance in Ukraine.
The organization of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, its evolution since founding, and the open question of European strategic autonomy in the context of US military dependence.
How Russia, China, Turkey, and Western democracies differ on command structure, the legality and morality of the use of force, the law of war, and how promotion is structured within the officer corps.
The development of conventional European capabilities, the path toward crisis management without dependence on US enablers — strategic transport, refueling, and command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.
The signature technical analysis of the program — a study of the American antitank missile system that defeated the most modern Russian armor on the Ukrainian battlefield, anchored by the on-air commentary of Captain Luis Manuel Rolle.
The Javelin climbs to between 360 and 660 meters and strikes the top of the tank, where armor is thinnest. The first explosion defeats the armor; the second is a forced jet of explosive that enters the hull and detonates the stored ammunition. The turret separates from the chassis. That is the Jack-in-the-Box.
The system has been in production in the United States since 1994. Eleven countries operate it. It can be fired by a single soldier, is autonomous after launch, and is rated against fixed positions and helicopters as well as armor.
A consistent editorial frame: dark palette, archival material handled with discipline, on-camera analysis built around the authority of a serving United States Army officer.
A small team with deep editorial and production discipline. The full credits across the sixteen episodes:
