Maria da Penha: Um Caso de Litígio Internacional (2012)
Overview
On May 29, 1983, Maria da Penha suffered a double attempted murder in her own home by her husband and father of her three daughters. More than 15 years after the crime, there was no definitive solution to the case and the attacker remained at large. In 1998, CLADEM, CEJIL and Maria da Penha began a fight for domestic violence to be treated as a violation of human rights. The documentary recovers this story.
