"Canibal, total indignation", which has five episodes, is dedicated to a 72-year-old serial killer arrested last year in Atizapan, in the suburbs of Mexico City, and who admitted to having killed and buried in his garden at least 19 women.
"This case helps to understand the phenomenon of feminicide in Mexico," Supreme Court President Arturo Zaldivar said at a press conference.
"We are going to succeed in raising awareness and we are going to make visible the girls and women of Mexico who are being killed and who are disappearing," he added.
Mr. Zaldivar regretted that Mexican society seems "used" to feminicides.
"Girls who disappear are part of the landscape, unfortunately," he lamented, saying that these cases were often treated "frivolously" by investigators.
A total of 3,751 murders of women were recorded in Mexico in 2021, of which 1,004 were qualified as "feminicides" (murder of a woman motivated solely by the fact that she is a woman), according to official figures.
The majority of these crimes go unpunished.

"Canibal, total indignation" will be broadcast from June 27 on Televisa, the largest Spanish-language television channel in the world, which has ceded the necessary airtime to the Supreme Court.
