Projection of the film "Luto como Mãe" followed by a debate with researchers from the Peace Studies Research Group (NEP/CES).

The film, directed by Luís Carlos Nascimento portrays the invisible aspects of armed violence. The city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is stage to summary and arbitrary executions perpetrated by State agents. Each death drags along the pain of those who remain, disturbing their entire social circle, namely family and friends. The documentary “Luto Como Mãe” focuses on the stories of these survivors, mostly women, and on their rite of passage from mourning to the struggle for justice and against invisibility.
