Overview
- Directed by María José Cuevas, the docuseries spans four episodes focused on the public icon and the private Alberto Aguilera Valadez.
- Producers reviewed 2,267 tapes across 16 formats, 2,500 personal photos, 30,000 digital images and about 500,000 audio files.
- Across the episodes, 54 Juan Gabriel compositions feature as narrative anchors, including 50 solo performances, two duets and two renditions by other artists.
- The project shifted from a planned interview-led film to an archive-driven series after the artist’s family provided extensive personal materials.
- Editing took 21 months as the team wove intimate home videos with professionally recorded footage to reflect Juan Gabriel’s creative process and dual persona.
