In the presence of:
   - Dan Wechsler the 9 November 2020 - 18:30

In Manila, a woman leaves her husband, who abuses her and her daughter. She files a complaint which leads to a long face-off with the law, involving malicious lawyers and endless litigation. Presented in partnership with FIFDH.

Joy, Dante, and their little Angel live in Manila. One evening, as usual, Dante comes home drunk and beats his wife. It is the straw that breaks the camel’s back: Joy slams the door and decides to file a complaint. Raymund Ribay Gutierrez’s brilliant Verdict, a tense film, shot with the camera on his shoulder, tells the story of the legal maze in which so many women victims of violence find themselves entangled. But Joy is tenacious… A film/discussion evening in the presence of the FIFDH team.
