The free streaming serivce , FilmRise announced that it has acquired exclusive North American distribution rights, to the six-part documentary crime-series The Miramar Murders: The State Vs. Pablo Ibar, this will be the first original true-crime limited docu-series.
The announcement was made today by Max Einhorn, SVP Acquisitions & Co-Productions of FilmRise.
The Miramar Murders: The State Vs. Pablo Ibar is directed and produced by the Olmo Figueredo Gonzalez-Qevedo, who also directed the documentary Born in Syria and produced notorious films such as The Endless Trench. This docu-series is also produced by Xabi Berzosa, the prestigious producer behind international titles such as Loreak and Handia.
The Miramar Murders: The State Vs. Pablo Ibar premiered on HBO Europe, consisting of 6 one-hour episodes which recount the chilling triple homicide from 1994, following the investigation and trials after the event.
Einhorn states, “This is a powerful series that recounts the conviction of Pablo Ibar and his defense team arguing his innocence years later, keeping him away from the death penalty. Viewers get to watch all the chilling details from the murders up to and through his Supreme Court trial. Fans of true-crime documentaries will find this program fascinating.”
In 1994, in South Florida, Pablo Ibar was arrested on a charge of triple homicide. The Miramar murders, as they came to be known, were the first in U.S. history to be captured in their entirety on a home security camera system resulting in unprecedented media coverage. However, the low-grade technology of the time made it impossible to clearly identify the two perpetrators who are seen executing the victims in cold blood. When the police arrest Pablo Ibar they are certain they have captured the killer.
