Ângela Diniz: Murdered and Convicted

The HBO Max true-crime docuseries *Ângela Diniz: Murdered and Convicted* revisits a case that transformed Brazil. In 1976, socialite Ângela Diniz was shot and killed by her boyfriend, Doca Street. During his trial, the defense argued he acted in "legitimate defense of honor," effectively blaming Ângela for her own murder. This shocking tactic led to a light sentence, sparking national outrage and igniting one of Brazil's most significant feminist movements. Through powerful archival footage and compelling interviews, the series examines not just the crime, but the cultural battle it created. The four-part series has ended, but sign up for a reminder just in case it returns. It is a gripping look at a fight for justice that challenged a nation's deep-seated prejudices.
