En Mis Propias Manos

The wife of a respected police officer suffers in silence as she endures ongoing physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of her husband. Behind closed doors, her life becomes a cycle of fear, control, and isolation. Although fellow officers and close friends begin to suspect that something is wrong, she remains too afraid to speak out. Shame and intimidation keep her trapped in the abusive relationship. It is only when other women confide in her about their own experiences with domestic violence that she finds the strength to break her silence. Encouraged by their support, she decides to confront the truth and formally accuse her husband. A powerful drama about courage, survival, and the difficult path toward justice.

Directed by Alonso O. Lara, En Mis Propias Manos leans on a strong ensemble — Luis Huizar, Vianey Huizar, Jesus Heredia El Gatillo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2019.
