History as method
AcidReport does not only cover the present, it also reconstructs how we got here. Most of the documentary series gathered here are historical series, each one takes a conflict, a system of power or a political project and follows it for decades, sometimes for an entire century, to show that what is presented today as an exception is in fact the accumulated consequence of decisions made long before.
These are not exhaustive chronologies or academic surveys, they are dissections. Each episode examines one link in a causal chain that is almost never told in full, because telling it in full would mean naming those who benefit from it staying untold. The daily news explains what happened this week. The documentary series explains why this week was, for decades, almost inevitable.
The format answers a simple conviction, no isolated fact makes sense outside its genealogy. A coup, a war declared over when it is not, an apparatus of impunity built across generations, all of that demands reading time, not headlines. We publish one series at a time, one episode a week, because historical reconstruction cannot be rushed without losing precision. When a series ends, it remains as a permanent archive, searchable, citable, and serves as a reference for later work.
SERIES “THE STATE OF CRIME”
Zionism emerged as a political response to a century of European persecution and turned into a state apparatus that administers occupation, war and diplomatic impunity.
SERIES “EL LARGO FUEGO”
Colombia has been producing guerrilla for a century for the same reason it produces misery, because its structures are designed not to distribute but to conserve.
