"This is a crime," a documentary series about the most shocking cases of the black chronicle in the Basque Country, on ETB2
The production is an alliance between EITB and El Correo (Vocento), which collects stories from journalists from both media about these events and provides first-person insight into what happened.
On September 10, at 22:15, ETB2 premieres "Así Se Escribe Un Crimen", a documentary series produced by EITB and El Correo (Vocento) in collaboration with Secuoya Studios, which analyses the most shocking and media cases of the black chronicle in the Basque Country.
Throughout eight chapters, the program "Así Se Escribe Un Crimen" reconstructs the facts with archival images, interviews with experts and sources involved in the investigation, narrating the facts and reflecting the emotional and professional impact on the people involved.
Ainhoa de las Heras, journalists David Olabarri and David Gonzalez of the events of El Correo, and Miriam Duque, director of the "Ganbara Negra" programme of Radio Euskadi, are some of the journalists who followed these events in the front row and who have now revived the crimes, from the initial investigation to the judicial decision.
Real cases that marked the black chronicle
Each chapter elaborates on the details of the crimes that affected society, analysing not only the conduct of investigations, but also the circumstances surrounding each case. From events caused by deception and obsessions to cases that aroused collective fear, the series focuses on how these crimes marked a milestone in collective memory and how to address security and justice in the Basque Country.
"So You Write A Crime" seeks, from a journalistic point of view, not only to review the facts, but also to raise awareness of the violence and its impact on society through respectful and documented treatment.
