    Justice for my Sister

    Kimberly BAUTISTA 2012 Guatemala & USA Documentary color 69min Spanish DigBeta
    A feature length documentary, Justice for My Sister takes an intimate look at the disappearance and brutal murder of Adela Chacón Tax. Her story is hauntingly familiar in Guatemala, where nearly 6,000 women were killed in the last decade. Her sister Rebeca is determined to see Adela's case through until the killer Ricardo is held accountable. Rebeca's two-year-long journey in the Guatemalan court system leads her to lost police reports, empty prosecutor's offices, distant NGO's, town rumors, the killer's accusations, corrupt judges, and a postponed trial. Rebeca herself is transformed by her battle and emerges as a feminist leader with a message for others: justice is possible.
