Note: Director: Giselle Portenier 2006. U.K./USA/Canada. 83 min. Spanish/English (English subtitles). Since 1999, more than 2,000 women have been murdered in Guatemala, with numbers escalating every year, yet lawmakers and government officials turn a blind eye. Powerful and uncompromising, KILLER'S PARADISE uncovers an emotionally wrenching human rights tragedy, while exposing an inept judicial system that allows it to happen. After almost four decades of civil war, Guatemala is a troubled society, but it can also be seen as a microcosm of the pervasive violence and injustice against women worldwide. This film is part of Stop Violence Against Women Night.
