Donald Cline, the doctor of the 90 children
Netflix is betting heavily on the success of two genres: the soap opera and the true crime, or the documentaries about murderers, con artists and other criminals in real life. The documentary Our father is the perfect example, as it contains family secrets, a medical scandal and a strong criticism of the American legal system.
Our father exposes the case of Donald Cline, a fertility doctor who inseminated more than 90 women in Indianapolis (USA) with his own sperm, without the consent or knowledge of his patients.
This documentary reveals the scandal that this famous doctor hid for decades, who also continues to be a respected member of his community and the Christian church. It also exposes the ordeal that the victims of Cline’s abuse must face when demanding justice, since in Indianapolis there were no laws that regulated this type of medical abuse.
The victims also deal with a series of autoimmune health issues inherited from Cline, as well as threats from the doctor. Will the evidence be enough to convict the doctor? Will the victims be able to obtain justice? These questions will keep you guessing for

And Adiós, Vangelis!
Zona C opens this section to highlight the music that has marked our personal soundtrack and that we owe, in large part, to movies and series
This first section is dedicated to Vangelis, the composer and keyboardist of electronic, orchestral, ambient, new age and progressive rock music who died this week at the age of 79, for reasons that have not yet been revealed. It is worth remembering the most memorable soundtracks of him:
1 Chariots of Fire (1981). For this film, Vangelis received the Oscar for best soundtrack that same year.
2 Blade Runner (1982). Although Vangelis was nominated for Bafta and Golden Globes for this soundtrack and it was well received, it took more than a decade to be launched on the market.
3 Anthem of the 2002 FIFA Korea-Japan World Cup. The song sold more than 100,000 copies, reaching the long-awaited platinum record.
