Her productions and articles have addressed a broad spectrum of issues, events, ideas and voices ranging from justice, mercy and reconciliation.
The documentary Justice and the Generals follows the trial of four American women who were murdered in El Salvador in the late 1980s and includes harrowing interviews with several Salvadoran survivors of torture who use the same international and U.S. laws to pursue the same generals in a follow-up trial.
