Flow's 'Barreda' Doc Draws Outcry Over Gustavo Cordera's Comments

His on-camera claim that Barreda acted to escape an “injustice” drew condemnation because the release coincided with a new triple femicide.

Overview

  • The two-part docufiction Barreda, el odontólogo femicida premiered on Flow on September 25, revisiting the 1992 quadruple femicide in La Plata.
  • In the film, Gustavo Cordera says Barreda “symbolizes an injustice” and that “anyone can commit an assassination, even I,” remarks widely read as justificatory.
  • National media and social platforms registered strong repudiation, intensified by the timing alongside the Florencio Varela triple femicide reported a day earlier.
  • Produced by Zeppelin Studios, the work blends interviews, dramatizations, archival material and AI, featuring voices such as Mariana Carbajal, Mauro Szeta and Rodolfo Palacios, with Luis Gianneo portraying Barreda in staged scenes.
  • Cordera’s participation follows renewed visibility from recent streaming appearances and a televised apology, set against his history of condemned 2016 statements about women.
