Soy Nevenka
In 2001 the media went wild over the story of Nevenka Fernandez, the woman who reported Ismael Alvarez, the mayor of Ponferrada, for sexual harassment. A story of abuse of power in every form. Nevenka says she had to choose: speak or die. She chose to speak and, against all odds, found justice.
