Barreda Docufiction Premieres on Flow as Cordera's Comments Prompt Outcry

The two-part release uses interviews, dramatizations, archive material plus AI to revisit the 1992 La Plata femicides.

Overview

  • “Barreda, el odontólogo femicida” debuted on September 25 exclusively on Flow with availability across Latin America.
  • Zeppelin Studios delivers two 30‑minute episodes that reconstruct the case with dramatized scenes, unpublished archives and AI tools.
  • Testimony includes journalists Mariana Carbajal, Rodolfo Palacios and Mauro Szeta, alongside friends, judicial figures and actor Luis Gianneo as Barreda.
  • Musician Gustavo Cordera appears saying Barreda “symbolizes an injustice” and that “anyone can commit an assassination,” remarks that have drawn strong criticism.
  • Public reaction is sharper following the recent triple femicide in Florencio Varela, focusing attention on media ethics and portrayals of gender violence.
