Magdalena Maldonado

Magdalena Maldonado is the Executive Producer and Creator of Ruka Productions' current untitled documentary project exploring the world of child abuse and neglect. With shocking statistics such as "1 in every 5 girls and 1 in every 10 boys will be sexually victimized before they reach adulthood." and "One report of child abuse is made every 10 seconds." This documentary is determined to shed light on a variety of issues dealing with and surrounding the safety and welfare of children.

Ms. Maldonado says "I believe anything can be overcome, so long as people are willing to commit themselves to change --  and there’s nothing more powerful than awareness, prevention education, and a connection to the universal stories told by survivors of child abuse -- that  help create social change... this is the intention we aspire to express in our doc."

With over 17 years of experience in Public Television, Ms. Maldonado brings her production confidence to the frontlines of the war against child abuse and neglect.
