I'm Still Here

Amid the darkest years of Brazil’s military dictatorship, one woman refused to be silenced. I'm Still Here: The Legacy of Eunice Paiva and Brazil’s Fight for Justice tells the gripping true story of Eunice Paiva, a woman who turned personal tragedy into a lifelong battle for truth, human rights, and democracy.
