The Perfect Victim (2012)
MOVIE
Three women have spent over three decades incarcerated in Missouri State prison, convicted of murdering their abusive spouses. Their pleas for justice were ignored, as the legal system failed to consider the evidence of abuse. Each woman's story illustrates the flaws in a system shaped by outdated, sensationalized views. In 2000, a shift in understanding the "battered woman" syndrome prompts Missouri’s Governor to enact a law requiring the parole board to reassess their cases, offering a glimmer of hope for their long-overdue freedom.
