Overview
- Netflix released Juan Gabriel: Debo, puedo y quiero on October 30, a four-episode documentary directed by María José Cuevas and produced by Laura Woldenberg and Ivonne Gutiérrez for Mezcla.
- The series presents a narration by journalist Alejandro Brito alleging the artist was abused at age 13 by a priest for whom he worked, a claim not publicly tackled in earlier dramatizations.
- Producers had exclusive access to more than 40 years of the singer’s personal videos, audio and photos, including a previously unreleased 1989 phone call with actress María Félix.
- In the call, Juan Gabriel references help from then-president Carlos Salinas de Gortari ahead of his 1990 Bellas Artes concert, one of several archival revelations highlighted in coverage.
- The documentary also revisits his early hardships and ascent and outlines family details, noting Iván Gabriel Aguilera as his only biological son and the administrator of his estate.
