ARA San Juan: Das verschwundene U-Boot

I started watching the series with a lot of expectations. Unfortunately, by the end of the first episode I had already found out that it was a disgusting piece of political propaganda.

Interviewed people are completely biased, even when one takes into account their personal grief of the crew´s relatives.

The so-called "naval expert" Fernando Morales (a merchant seaman) appears wearing a uniform with non-existent rank insignias, and speaks about virtually everything, from politics to psychology. There´s this pathetic character, Mariano Pi, who belongs to a group of self-appointed researchers, who tries to tear down scientific evidence with nothing but unfounded assumptions. And the same goes for Sergio Díaz.

Virtually all the people interviewed are completely partial in their statements.

What could be a very nice piece of documentary turned into a cheap political flyer.

Started watching this out of curiosity. Professionally with a background in aviation accident investigation and a fanatic of military history this looked right up my alley. I was excited to learn about what had happened. The first episode dragged on and I slowly got overly dramatic conspiracy theory vibes by the end. I thought this would be an intelligent and fact seeking accident investigation type of show. About 10mins into the second episode I had to turn it off. They focused on uneducated public figures and their conspiracy theories with almost no reasonable coverage of actual facts. I skipped ahead to the last episode literally titled "black box" hoping it would actually talk about the investigation and causes. But it was nothing but more wild conspiracy theories. Do they really think a nation is going to blab and plaster state and military intel and secrets all over the public media!? Of course theyre going to be discreet and withhold vital information critical to nation security!!!

Easily one of the DUMBEST "documentaries" Ive ever seen. A complete disappointment. Along the idiotic "documentaries" about big foot and such.

Really hope Netflix doesn't plan on produce any more of this type of trash!

The critical aspects of this tragedy are overshadowed by Netflix horrible voice talents. I actually found myself laughing at the presentation of translations-I couldn't continue knowing how inappropriate it was to laugh.

The victims and families of the tragedy would be better honored by bilingual voice talent who were not pretending to be actors.

There are many other failures in this documentary. Overall, this fails because it was created with poor intentions, misrepresenting the failure in the search, the cover up is only briefly addressed (up to the point I had to shut it off), and the lack of representing the families' frustrations and anger.

The documentary "Aras San Juan" on Netflix has a blatant ideological bias and left-wing political pamphleteering. Instead of offering an impartial exploration of the events surrounding the disappearance of the Argentine submarine, the documentary seems designed to promote a specific political narrative. The selective presentation of information and testimonies appears intended to support a particular political agenda rather than providing a balanced view of the facts. Furthermore, the omission of divergent viewpoints further contributes to the documentary's lack of credibility. Instead of objectively informing the viewer, "Aras San Juan" seems more interested in reinforcing a preconceived political perspective, undermining its value as a genuine documentary committed to truth.

Creators of this film contribute to the debacle of Argentina, a country rich in natural resources, potential and opportunity, but that somehow managed to host ignorants and obtuse people who wish Communism to be the ruling political party.

People who hate capitalism and all sort of meritocracy because themselves recognise to be incapable of absolutely everything.

This film was made to blame the President at the time of the incident, yet ignored the fact that the previous one, Ms Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner announced and recommissioned the submarine without any proper auditing or refitting. Most likely it represented just another empty announcement made with actual money being transferred to the pockets of few politicians.

Absolute garbage of a film and dubious characters and charlatans, all paid to create stories and quite typical of the of Argentine cinema and its shameful representatives.
