Recordings of his own murder: the Berfonder case: The homicide of Martín Berfonder in Santoalla do MonteA Dutch man who documents on video those who plan to kill him four years before he disappears. A burned car found in such a remote area that even hunters had no access, with skeletal remains 95 meters away. An unanswered question: how did no one prevent a crime that was announced?In this episode, we explore the clash between two worlds in the abandoned village of Orense, the escalation of violence following a ruling on communal lands, and the contradictions of a spontaneous confession that was retracted.
