Overview

• The documentary, Barreda, el odontólogo femicida, debuted on Flow on September 25 for Latin America as a two-episode release.
• The production revisits the La Plata case in which Ricardo Barreda killed his wife, two daughters and mother-in-law in 1992, and it examines the trial and cultural context that followed.
• Testimonies include journalists Rodolfo Palacios, Mariana Carbajal and Mauro Szeta, as well as investigators and a trial judge, with actor Luis Gianneo portraying Barreda in dramatized scenes.
• Musician Gustavo Cordera appears on camera saying Barreda “simboliza una injusticia” and that “cualquiera puede cometer un asesinato”, comments widely criticized by audiences and media.
• Reaction to Cordera’s statements has intensified given a recent triple femicide in Florencio Varela, while the series also notes Barreda’s 1995 life sentence, later custodial benefits and his 2020 death.
