Queen: checkmate…

Synopsis
This documentary film expresses the will and commitment to sharing, through the story of emotions and experience, the context of the socio-cultural event ‘Queen: “Check the King”‘, and with it re-present the testimonies of the victims of gender violence and femicide.
Especially of Stefania, who asked that her experience is of help to other women who experience or have experienced similar domestic violence.
It is the desire to put one’s suffering at the service of others: a way to overcome it and prevent other people from experiencing similar pain.
