The Burden:AVENGER Podcast series
October 2024 - I am so eager and proud to share that, after more than a year in development, season 3 of Orbit Media’s The Burden: Avenger - a true crime podcast series, was finally released this week.
The Burden: Avenger tells the story of one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of their country. Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam was one of the few who survived the camp. She steadfastly avoided doing stories about these death flights until a phone call from an Italian photojournalist changed everything…
Telling this incredible true story of justice required extensive reporting, including dozens of hours of interviews conducted in Spanish. Later, actors were hired to voice these interviews in English. The cast features Argentinian journalist Miriam Lewin, played by Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls, The Handmaid’s Tale), alongside Italian photojournalist Giancarlo Ceraudo, played by me This podcast was directed by Academy Award-winning documentarian Fisher Stevens and is narrated by public radio producer, journalist, and documentary filmmaker Andres Caballero. It is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeart Radio.
