Friday Night At The Meaningful Movies: “Senorita Extraviada” (“Missing Young Woman”)
Film: Senorita Extraviada (Missing Young Woman) (74 min, 2001, Lourdes Portillo)
"Señorita Extraviada" documents a two-year search for the truth in the underbelly of the new global economy. 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. This is the haunting story of the more than 350 kidnapped, raped and murdered young women of Juárez, Mexico. The climate of violence and impunity continues to grow, and the murders of women continue to this day. 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 "Señorita Extraviada" Portillo relies on what is seen as the most reliable of sources – the testimonies of the families of the victims. Part of the Women of Juarez Campaign, Presentation, followed by facilitated discussion. FREE - donations kindly accepted.
