Overview
- Netflix released a three‑episode documentary on November 13 featuring on‑record statements from six of the eight men convicted in the 2020 Villa Gesell killing, including Máximo Thomsen, Enzo Comelli and members of the Pertossi family.
- The series blends courtroom material, cellphone and security‑camera videos and first‑person accounts, with Fernando Báez Sosa’s mother sharing personal memories that anchor the film’s emotional core.
- Several convicted men speak from the Melchor Romero facility about shame, regret or alcohol use, while avoiding full acceptance of responsibility according to the excerpts highlighted by local coverage.
- Viewers and commentators criticized the omission of Virginia Pérez Antonelli—the then‑17‑year‑old who performed CPR and testified at trial—who publicly condemned the choice after appearing only fleetingly and unidentified in footage.
- The documentary has surged among the platform’s most‑watched titles and reignited debate, while the 2023 verdicts remain in effect with five life sentences and three 15‑year terms and no new judicial actions reported.
