Bertha Lutz: A Mulher na Carta da ONU

Feature-length documentary for HBO Brazil

Role: Producer

“Bertha Lutz - Women In the UN Charter” is an HBO documentary that reveals the amazing story behind a milestone of female equality in the world. The documentary follows the current research by Fatima Sator, from Algeria, and Elise Luhr Dietrichson, from Norway, who came in contact with a series of original letters written by Brazilian feminist leader and biologist Bertha Lutz. She had been the Brazilian delegate at the Conference that laid the foundations for the formation of the United Nations in 1945. The letters shine a light on Bertha’s contribution to a historic achievement for the feminist movement: women’s rights language in the UN “constitution”.
