Bajo Juárez: The City Devouring its Daughters
Wednesday May 28 | 9:00 pm | Vancity Theatre
Directors: Alejandra Sánchez & José Antonio Cordero, Mexico, 2007, 96 minutes
n the Mexican city of Juárez, close to the American border, a striking number of young women have disappeared in recent years. Many have remained missing, but the discovery of several bodies has attested to the fact that the women were murdered. Bajo Juárez: The City Devouring its Daughters follows these unsolved and highly publicized crimes against women along the Mexico-U.S. border.
How can it be that most of the murders have remained unsolved and the perpetrators unpunished?
