About the film: A BBC documentary, produced by 'This World', broadcasted in the UK by the BBC in May 2006. Director: Giselle Portenier. An acclaimed documentary filmmaker who consistently focuses on human rights issues around the world. Her films have been used by human rights organisations in action campaigns and several have resulted in changes to the law. Since 1999, more than two thousand women have been murdered in Guatemala, with the numbers escalating every year. Yet policy, decision-makers and government officials continue to turn a blind eye. Powerful and uncompromising, Killer's Paradise uncovers one of the most emotionally-wrenching hidden human rights abuses taking place right now, while exposing the impunity allowed by an inept judicial system:
  • Claudia Madrid, aged 21, shot in the street, leaves a husband and two children;

  • Claudina Valesquez, 19 year old law student, shot in the street;

  • Stephanie Lopez, aged 13, tortured with multiple stab wounds;

  • 20 year old Titina, a law student kidnapped and then brutally murdered...
