Bajo Juárez: La ciudad devorando a sus hijas

Directed by José Antonio Cordero & Alejandra Sánchez

In Mexico’s Ciudad Juárez, hundreds of women have been murdered, their bodies dumped in plain sight. After years, the crimes still have not been solved. Through interviews with grieving parents, journalists who covered the story and, most tellingly, female government officials, the filmmakers expose a web of corruption, class and a fatal disregard of violence against women.

“The film’s innovative techniques command attention to the horrors perpetrated against grieving parents still desperate for answers.” 2007 Sundance Film Festival website
