On Netflix The Photographer and the Postman: Don’t Forget Heads

This documentary proposes to underline, to highlight the phrase leading up to this criticism and that was a cry, a voice of alert in 1997 and continues like this: Don’t Forget Heads.

The familiar voice that began to tell the story of what happened to him that morning of January 25 in Pinamar. He said, outside, that he passed the Cava de General Madariaga, saw a vehicle burning and several people there. And he went on.

He was Eduardo Duhalde, then governor of the province of Buenos Aires, and one of the political figures that this work of Alexander Hartmannmade by Vanessa Ragone (The Secret in Their Eyesand the miniseries Carmel: Who killed Mary Martha?also directed by Hartmann) stands in the middle stage.

The documentary gives voice to many of the companions Joseph Louis Heads in the magazine editorial Newswhere he, along with journalist Gabriel Michi, is covering the summer season in Pinamar -like many others-, and is specifically looking for an interview with businessman Alfredo Yabrán.

Gradually, because although the story has a common thread and an ordered follow-up, respectively, it will recede, and that is when Yabrán’s name appears as implicated and responsible for the photojournalist’s murder. More than half an hour passed, but the man who interacted with Menem’s power would not leave the screen, whether he was in the images or not.

proper monitoring

And it will be remembered that Yabrán, until Cabezas took a picture of himself walking on the beach with his wife, barely recognized his face.

And, also, how about another top of Newsthat of the damned copreferring to the Buenos Aires police, is described by José Luis.

Who was behind the murder? La Bonaerense, or Yabrán? Why did Los Pepitos appear, as allegedly responsible for the horrific murder, and then Los Horneros?

It is not the intention here to say in detail what the documentary shows. Those responsible for this have, or are clearly beyond attesting to archived photos and recent interviews of facts, the implications that cowardly murder had on full democracy.

That is, the political sides, how José Luis ’body splashed on Duhalde (former president Raúl Alfonsín said they“ threw ”it at the governor, who a week after the assassination he planned to launch his campaign in presidency, which he would eventually do. lose), along with the explosions on the Río Tercero, the attacks on the Israeli Embassy and on AMIA … All in the ’90s.

From José Luis, where I worked News, says he is “stubborn”, and “he has a special look”. They were in the documentary “Camarazo”, the marches against impunity, the reward offered by Duhalde to anyone who provided data, there was Cristina, José Luis’ widow, and her parents, Norma and José, who died who, in the words of Yabrán himself, less than two months after the crime, speaks sitting in front of Mariano Grondona.

There is a lot of data, for those who don’t know much about the investigations, and no new revelations. Yes, those responsible for José Luis ’death are now free, despite a life sentence at trial, or they have died or committed suicide.

Social condemnation continues, because we cannot forget José Luis Cabezas.
