Killer's Paradise
In this powerful film, the award-winning team of Olenka Frenkiel and Giselle Portenier document the story of the brutal killings of women in Guatemala. Since 1999, more than 2,000 women have been murdered there, with the numbers rising every year. Special guests for the night included artists and activists Ana Castillo, Claudia Serrato, Diana Flores, Timoi, Azalea Ryckman, and Sandra Luna! Additionally sponsored by Chapinas Unidas.
