    Gloria is a super woman!

    I was 5 years old when Dani was murdered and I still remember. It makes me sick to my stomach to think that The killers are living their lives like nothing happened. It's unacceptable, it's ridiculous and it makes me mad and angry.

    Gloria is a heroine and has all my respect. As a mother I can only imagine her pain. Watching her talking about Dani shows how strong of a woman she is.

    Thank you Gloria for sharing this story with us.

    Pessoas do Brasil, PAREM DE DAR IBOPE PRA ESSAS ASSASSINOS. Que eles queimem no fogo do inferno e paguem pelo que fizeram.

    Rip Dani !!!!

    The documentary was very well done exposing the truth and not fantasy versions by killer. I remember very well the day I heard the news of Dani's death on TV, I was shocked, because I didn't understand how someone could take the life of such a beautiful person inside and outside. That's why, after 30 years of her death, nothing fairer than keeping what happened alive, because we can never forget about that macabre night that took Daniela's life, victim of two monstrous psychopaths who don't deserve the slightest consideration and respect from anyone and not even the right to live in society. What a shame we don't have the death penalty here in our country, because it would be the least what these monstrous psychopaths deserved to have for what they did to her.

    In conclusion, I recommend you to see this documentary because it was very well done and shows only the truth and nothing else. Congratulations to whoever produced it.

    Powerful and disheartening story

    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.

    Captivating documentary

    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!
