They think it will excite everyone who sees the documentary. They stress that it has been the most "hard" and "hard to produce" documentary ever. They denounce that social silence "perpetuates" sexual abuse and that they hope that this work has put their grain of sand on silence.
The eight protagonists of the documentary have also made the note public. They note that this documentary seeks to protect and encourage silent victims to speak. Thank the producer Mr. Mono and the Netflix platform for telling her story.
Disney+ platform silence
Initially, Disney+ Spain acquired the rights to issue the documentary, which premiered in November 2022. However, one day before the release date, the release was suspended.
After the setback of this platform, the eight victims of the Cabezudo that appear in the documentary released a note explaining step by step what happened and its anger. He says that in December 2021 the platform had purchased the documentary in the press. Since then he made the trailer and sent the entire documentary to journalists and influencers. Subsequently, it signed with the producer Mr. Mono a legal criterion for the producer to bear full responsibility in case of demand. Finally, Disney+, "without giving any coherent public explanation" and without contacting the victims, decided not to issue the documentary.
The victims reported feeling "betrayed" by the Disney+ Spain platform and by Simon Amselem and Vincent Sourdeau, responsible for not issuing the documentary. "They have played with our pain, our dignity and our trust." However, at the last point of the note, they pointed out that their history would be known "yes or yes". And it looks like Netflix is going to give you the opportunity.
