Pacto Brutal: O Assassinato de Daniella Perez

I have always been fascinated by true-crime stories, and when I stumbled upon this series about Daniela's murder, I knew I had to watch it. Although the crime happened a few years before my birth, it was a story that my mother often spoke about with great sadness. I was curious to know more about the details of that fateful night in Rio in 1992.

Watching the documentary was a deeply emotional experience for me. I found myself moved by the raw images of the crime and the physical objects that were brought on screen from that night. The filmmakers had done an excellent job of bringing the story to life, and I felt as if I was there, witnessing the crime unfold in front of me. The documentary's attention to detail was exceptional, and it was clear that the filmmakers had gone to great lengths to research the case thoroughly. Every aspect of the crime was explored, from the lead up to the murder to the aftermath and the investigation that followed.

As I watched the documentary, I felt a sense of sadness for Daniela and her family. It was clear that she had been a vibrant and loving person, and her loss was deeply felt by all those who knew her. The filmmakers did an exceptional job of honoring her memory and bringing her story to a wider audience.

Overall, I would highly recommend this documentary to anyone who is interested in true-crime stories.

This is more than just a criminal investigation, which it is. It is also about the effects it had on the mother of the victim, and her important role in finding the truth. I don't understand how imperfect the system still is, and in cases like these, of extremely violent premeditated crimes, how little justice is served. An eye for an eye, seems to me, would be more appropriate. Can a criminal redeem itself? Maybe. But one must be held accountable for taking someone's life. I was left baffled at the end. I swallowed dry and clenched my hands as we hear the mother's remarks at the ene, and we see Daniella's hopes and dreams for her future. When a life like that is taken, it was not just of that person, but the grandchildren and extra family members that mother never had. And sadly never will.

It was entitled The Night That Never Ended, but probably would have been better titled "the explanation of how we learned that she had been killed that never ended." We really don't need to know every word that was said by everyone to everyone else involved, (before finding out that she has been killed) five times over. This has obvious undertones of wanting a single or two episode show to last a really long time. An amazingly interesting case where the telling of- turned quite boring before it had a chance to really get underway.

Amazing documentary revealing shocking details of the murder of Daniella Perez, brazilian actress and daughter of famous telenovelas author Gloria Perez.

You might struggle to keep up with the subtitles, but I found it worth the effort. It's a touching story of a mother's fight for justice after her daughter, a Brazilian actress and dancer, was brutally murdered by a fellow actor and his jealous wife. The film is chalk full of firsthand accounts. Highly recommended!
