SERIES

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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Gabriel Schwarb

Gabriel Schwarb is the founding director and editor in chief of AcidReport, a Swiss-Colombian writer with more than three decades of professional practice in art direction, web development and investigative journalism. The outlet operates as a non-profit association, governed by Article 60 of the Swiss Civil Code, with no political affiliation, no advertising and no external funding. It publishes in Spanish, French and English, and covers Latin America and Europe as a mirror, each continent explained through the other.

He founded it convinced that Iván Duque's 2018 victory over Gustavo Petro had not been clean, a suspicion reinforced by the Ñeñe Hernández scandal, and that the real Colombia found no place in its own media. Born as an information bridge between Colombia and Europe, the project later widened to all of Latin America, and is read today across the entire world. His method combines strict source verification, archival work and public correction of errors. He does not publish to please. He publishes to answer.
