Description: This film "unfolds like the unsolved mystery that it examines -- the kidnapping, rape and murder of over 350 young women in Ju©Łrez, Mexico ... [T]he film unravels the layers of complicity that have allowed these brutal murders to continue. Relying on what filmmaker Lourdes Portillo comes to see as the most reliable of sources -- the testimonies of the families of the victims -- this film documents a two-year search for the truth in the underbelly of the new global economy"--Container.
