The Simple Art of Killing a Woman

The Simple Art of Killing a Woman explores the epidemic of femicide in Brazil through the journey of a young lawyer who seeks refuge in Cruzeiro do Sul. There, she encounters local prosecutor Carla and Marcos, the son of an indigenous woman, as she documents the alarming rise in violence against women. Delving into themes of resilience, racism, and historical trauma, the story intertwines her personal quest for understanding with encounters involving the ritual use of ayahuasca and warrior women seeking justice. This work is both a lament for real-life victims and a broader commentary on enduring societal issues.
