I was probably around 18 years old when I lived this trial in my country. I was glued to it as it opened my eyes as a young woman newlywed to an abuser. My abuser told me don't you ever dare do that to me. He knew he deserved it somehow. I was younger than Lorena but living more or less the same. Thanks to her (and not to you, mom or MIL) I learned that rape does exist in a marriage and that we are to give consent.

And it is absolutely amazing to see all of this through the eyes of a mature (and of course divorced) woman. I rage when I hear how they try (the men) to bring down her testimonies because this is how I felt. I felt alone and terrified and still lived with that MF for 3.5 years and slept in the same bed. This is a case of how far we have come in woman rights and how we still have lots to go. Feminicide is up now in the pandemic as millions of women have to live 24/7 with their abusers. Time to do more! Anyway, great watch, nice to see it all behind doors as the NYT wrote on this doc and nice to have now a safe and mature mind to go over the case.
