Broken Silence: Losing A Family Member Due To Their Domestic Partner

Synopsis: Hilda Magana was a woman who was a victim of murder by her domestic partner. Within this story, filmmaker Nicole Salgado shows the perspectives of those related to Hilda and the events leading up to the incident. The audience receives an insight into the kindhearted individual that Hilda was. The question, “How has her death and the cause of it impacted your life?” is prompted. This allows for the telling of how life is carried on after such a life-altering experience. Has this altered how you perceive people and the people you allow in your life? Did this scare you away from doing certain things or becoming close with specific people? There is hope this story can bring awareness to the unspoken truth for the large majority of women who have been killed by their spouse or domestic partner.
