I Don't Give Up on You

The biographical series “Eu não desisto de você” (I don't give up on you) reconstructs the trajectory of lawyer Ana Vasconcelos (1944-2009) through the testimonies of former street girls from Recife-Brazil, who attended the non-governmental organization Casa de Passagem in the 1990s, created by the lawyer to combat violence and sexual exploitation of street girls. The protagonist Betânia, now a psychopedagogue, sets out to find the other women whose lives were transformed by Ana Vasconcelos. Past and present intertwine with a feminine view of the process of social transformation.
