Investigative documentary The Secret of Doctor Grinberg by director Ida Cuellar has been shooting in Mexico these past few weeks.

The Polar Star Films’ team travelled to Mexico DF to follow up a lead that could hold the key to solving the riddle of Doctor Grinberg. In true police investigation style the team re-created the crime board and interrogations for the shoot.

In the early nineties, Dr. Jacobo Grinberg’s career was blooming and he gained international recognition in the fields of telepathy and neurophysiology at the Universidad Autónoma of México. When Dr. Grinberg mysteriously disappeared in 1994, the police found no trace of him nor his research material.  Grinberg was ahead of his time, his theories on consciousness from the 70s are regarded as cutting edge science today, but later theories appear to border on science fiction.  Was Dr. Grinberg’s research valuable or dangerous enough to make certain forces willing to eliminate him?

The Secret of Doctor Grinberg is a Spain-Mexico production by Polar Star Films and Fosforescente in collaboration with SPR TV.
