I Don't Give Up on You

Eu Não Desisto de Você

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.
