Señorita Extraviada (Missing Young Woman) tells the haunting story of the more than 200 kidnapped, raped and murdered young women of Juárez, Mexico. Visually poetic, yet unflinching in its gaze, this compelling investigation unravels the layers of complicity that have allowed for the brutal murders of women living along the Mexico-U.S. border. In the midst of Juárez’s international mystique and high profile job market, there exists a murky history of grossly underreported human rights abuses and violence against women. Relying on what Portillo comes to see as the most reliable of sources – the testimonies of the families of the victims –"Señorita Extraviada" documents a two-year search for the truth in the underbelly of the new global economy. An Independent Television Service (ITVS) Production.

Amnesty International Australia:
Amnesty International reports that 34-year-old Alma Brisa Molina Baca was abducted, sexually assaulted and murdered in Cd. Juarez on Saturday July 24. Her body was found several days later on waste ground. The autopsy indicated that she was raped and strangled. I feel more passionately about what I am doing than ever before. If you have not already signed the petitions please do, and visit the Amnesty International Australia website for a complete list of places to send your letters of appeal. Authorities will take notice if they are flooded with letters from Australia. - Download the full Amnesty dossier here - |
