Border Report – Netflix docuseries reveals Juan Gabriel’s untold story

Posted on September 1, 2025

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A new Netflix documentary series about the iconic late singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel will feature “never-before-seen footage” of his life and career.

“Juan Gabriel: I Must, I Can, I Will” is María José Cuevas’ latest project, where, along with “El Divo de Juárez’s” estate, allowed access to personal archives that will tell his true story, according to Gabriel’s son, Iván Aguilera.

“Rare videos and exclusive interviews reveal the genius, sacrifices and duality between the public and private lives of iconic singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel,” read the brief description of the documentary series on Netflix.

This project will be available on Oct. 30.

Alberto Aguilera, better known as Juan Gabriel, became a pillar of Mexican music as a composer and a singer.

As Border Report had previously reported, he gained international fame and became known for his flamboyant singing style. A PBS series on his life in El Paso documented how he transcended borders and became a symbol for the region.

Juan Gabriel died on Aug. 28, 2016, in Santa Monica, California.
