n one of the most incredible murder trials America has ever witnessed, this unbelievable film follows the myriad of twists and turns in the case of the world’s heaviest women accused of beating her two year old nephew to death. A crime she seemed incapable of committing, this is a complex and riveting story of extremes.
In a Texas border town, Mayra Rosales, is charged with the murder of her nephew. But is that even possible? Mayra weighs nearly 1000 pounds. She is bed-ridden and immobile. Why is she confessing to a heinous crime she couldn’t have committed? Or could she have?
What really happened in Mayra’s home on March 18, 2008? Mayra’s sheer size pushes every aspect of this case to the extreme. Mayra’s trial and potential incarceration will be a challenge no justice system has ever faced. For the duration of her trial, Mayra will literally eat, sleep, go to the bathroom and live on a bed inside the courtroom. Ultimately this is a story of family loyalty versus justice. When life holds no promise, what will break first? Is Mayra a martyr or a murderer? Either way, her life is about to change forever. If Mayra is acquitted, gastric surgery is waiting on the other side of the verdict to offer her a new lease on life.
