the murder of Daniella Perez was, perhaps, one of the greatest tragedies in Brazil and for many it is still totally recent, even though it happened in 1992. The documentary Brutal pact: the murder of Daniella Perez premiere recalling in detail what happened that shocked in a year of great changes in the world and in Brazil.

On February 7, the European Union by signing the Treaty of Maastricht. On the 19th of the same month, the two Koreas signed the non-aggression and denuclearization treaty. We also had other remarkable events such as the death of Jânio Quadros, the massacre at the Carandiru penitentiary, in São Paulo, causing the death of 111 inmates.

But the most striking was the murder of the actress Daniella Perez, on December 28, 1992, which stopped Brazil in a national commotion. Remembering that the President Collor resigned the day after the actress's death.

This tragedy moved a country that still needed heroes and heroines. Of happy people, who brought empathy with the public. And that's what people had every night from Monday to Saturday, watching De Corpo e Alma ("Body and soul") in Gloria Perez and which featured the character Yasmim, played by Daniella, who became Brazil's new girlfriend.

De Corpo e Alma was not just another prime-time feuilleton, it became the dramaturgy of the Globe after the years. It was a soap opera full of criticism, with characters who were abused by sexist and toxic men. For women who wanted their freedom and young people in search of their identity.

And with an actress like Daniella Perez, young, full of life, still at the beginning of her career, she ended up symbolizing everything that Brazilians wanted so much: To live and not be ashamed of being happy, just to make it clearer with one of the excerpts most striking of our music, what is what is, in Gonzaguinha.

The documentary

Three decades after Daniella Perez's murder, it might even feel like it's all over. The perpetrators of the crime were arrested, released and “justice” was served. But that would only be if it was a movie or series. The reality is much more brutal, as seen in the documentary Brutal pact: the murder of Daniella Perez, which debuts this month on HBO Max.

With crime scene photos to really shock and show all the violence that the actress went through, the documentary still presents parts that most of the population never imagined, such as a corrupt Police Chief, messed up in the investigation and a sensationalist press that dared – and still dares – to link the real person to his character.

Guilherme de Pádua, Daniella's self-confessed murderer, was able to blame the death on the actress, saying that Daniella Perez was looking for and seducing him. An obvious style is more than common in sexist and abusers to blame their victims.

We are still introduced to parts that show how much Daniella Perez's case could have been just another death where the victim is to blame, if it wasn't for a mobilization of friends, relatives and artists. But the worst thing is to see how much the sensationalist press linked the character Yasmim to Bira, with titles that seemed to corroborate Guilherme's statements, where the two had an affair.

Brutal pact: the murder of Daniella Perez, goes much further in these first two episodes that we had access to, of just showing the actress's life or hitting the same key that we thought we knew.

It is a true documentary showing how a man destroyed the life of a young woman, the actress's family and how part of them died on the same day as Danielle Perez. And maybe a part of all the selfishness, among so many parts, is Guilherme having said to Fábio Assunção, that “I destroyed my life”. And in no part of him, to have seen and admitted that he had ended a life.

With a script that presents the facts, the description of the events of that day and of those that followed, Brutal pact: the murder of Daniella Perez, still shows and makes us understand all the pain of Glória Perez, family and her husband at the time Raul Gazolla.
