A Trojan Woman

« A Trojan Woman » is an interactive documentary shot at the Ventura Youth Correctional Facility in California, that juxtaposes the raw, real-life narrative of Shanice D., a young woman incarcerated for two murders and one attempt, with the ancient tale of Cassandra from Euripides’ The Trojan Women. This bold fusion challenges the audience to explore themes of fate, justice, and redemption through these two stories, separated by thousands of years.
