Olha Pra Elas Olha Pra Elas

Mensagem do Realizador Director Statement
Look at them Girls will dive into the routine of five women who live the drama of prison and the separation of their children, who expect family support from her. The film shows how the female deprivation of liberty, in a cascade effect, can build a vicious circle of damage that affects her family and society. In addition to the impacts of female incarceration, the work also highlights the discrimination that echoes in society outside and behind bars, gender violence. All of this takes place in an intimate way, through reflections and conversations with witnesses and experts.
