The Alcàsser Murders

This true crime documentary revisits the case that shocked Spain in 1992, when three teenagers were abducted from the small town of Alcàsser. Directed by Elías León and available on Netflix, the series combines testimony from the time with archival footage from news broadcasts and eyewitnesses. It also focuses on the media circus that formed around the story, with coverage that turned the tragedy into a national issue. Through those voices and reports, the series attempts to revisit what happened and how it was told at the time. Its starting point is the disappearance of the young women and the pressure the media placed on a small community and on the entire country.
