This episode is a remarkable capture of the struggle of a mother against structural inadequacies of the law system. Even if it is already known, just hearing the fact that once homicide was not considered a heinous crime in Brazil is revolting and shocking. Yet, to have in mind that it started to be considered as such due to the untiring struggle of many morally invested people led by Glória Perez is like remembering that, even after the darkest of nights, rays of sunlight might yet shine once again, and something actually good for everybody may arise from the most horrifying losses.
This is a remarkable register of a symbolic episode in worldwide true crime, one that stands as an amalgamation of heartbreaking events that must not ever be forgotten.
