The new documentary portrays the most powerful parts of her life including her trial footage and her testimony. She sobbed on the stand and discussed how she had faced rape and abuse at the hands of her husband.

The documentary has also shown the testimony of multiple witnesses who had confirmed her domestic violence by her husband. She had evidence of injuries on her body and also suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Lorena Bobbitt and her fear of deportation

The documentary also discusses Lorena’s dream to become an American citizen. She had moved to the USA when she was young. It was her dream to be there and she feared that she would be deported back to her home country.

The media outlets and tabloids had projected her as a fiery Latina but that was not the case. She had even rejected a plea deal since a felony conviction would have led to the end of her dream to become an American citizen, she had said.

The media had talked a lot about the case at the time of the crime and trial 25 years back but had completely overlooked the frame of mind of Lorena.

Reporters haunted her and people even tried to film her inside her home. She had spent 45 days in a Virginia State mental asylum and at that time, many media outlets wanted an interview with her but she turned them all down.
