Fresh interviews after two decades
A new Netflix documentary examines the 2002 murder of Manfred and Marísia von Richthofen in São Paulo. Suzane von Richthofen: O que o Tempo Não Apaga premieres on 11 November and includes the first extended interviews with Suzane in more than ten years. The film also draws on archive footage plus conversations with experts and people connected to the original investigation.
Director’s take on media and the justice system
“More than two decades after the crime, the documentary allows us to discuss subjects that are very dear to our society, such as the media and its impact on this and other similar cases, resocialization, and a bit of the reality of the penal system in Brazil,” says director Lygia M. Barbosa, who worked alongside Paulo Gambale Maká. The production comes from Kromaki in co-production with Grama Filmes.
