Os sintomas do abuso sexual infantil na vida adulta : roteiro de documentário

Abstract

The documentary script My Voice, My Strength: Surviving Abuse explores the complexities of childhood sexual abuse in adulthood, emphasizing not only the symptoms but also the emotional and psychological aspects involved. The script adopts an approach that combines poetic and expository styles, as proposed by Bill Nichols, aiming to inform and sensitize the audience. Drawing on theoretical analyses from authors such as Bill Nichols and references from Brazilian documentary cinema, with a semi-open approach, the documentary values the authenticity of the shared stories, providing a safe environment for the interviewees. The work highlights the importance of giving voice to survivors and exploring their lifelong journeys of coping with trauma, based on research conducted with survivors in Facebook groups. With this, we aim to underscore the significance of using the accounts and experiences shared by survivors as the foundation for creating the documentary.
