I know very little about Argentina, I'm Swedish. The documentary was pretty good but what hits me is how corrupt it is. It's absurd that the murderers and their accomplices were sentenced to life in prison without parole but just a couple of years later they would be released because of a "new" law. One of them also got a free education behind bars. Justice is pretty flexible, depending on where you live and who you are. Scary and an insult to the victims family. I'm really sorry for their loss and if that wasn't enough they even have to witness the criminals walking the streets like nothing happened.

Corrupt Society
An intriguing true-crime doc that's worth a watch! [ 68%]
Alejandro Hartmann's latest true-crime documentary for Netflix takes you deep into the conspiracy and murder of photojournalist José Luis Cabezas. I loved the no-nonsense approach employed by the makers, especially since this was a case with several powerful entities involved. The investigation behind the murder branches out into two specific, carefully crafted routes - both of which converge at a particular juncture - making you realize that no time was spent unnecessarily theorizing or making vague, attention-grabbing statements. The makers also interview the ones who worked with the victim and several others in the journalism fraternity, telling us how this incident shaped the decisions of Argentine society as a whole in the late '90s. One can call this piece a political investigative murder mystery where the plotting overshadows the vile nature of the crime. Definitely worth a watch if you're into true-crime documentaries!
Where there's smoke...
A confusing and winding documentary, mainly because the case was confusing and twisted around in the police and politics. Documentary does a good job of trying to piece it together and sort out facts.
