Watch SEÑORITA EXTRAVIADA on Global Voices on PBS WORLD

“Lourdes Portillo’s elegiac SEÑORITA EXTRAVIADA documents with low-key persistence the conditions in Ciudad Juárez,” Los Angeles Times

Since 1993, over 400 young women have been raped and murdered in Juarez, Mexico. Authorities ignore pleas for justice from the victims’ families, and the crimes go unpunished. Most disturbingly, evidence of government complicity remains uninvestigated as the killings continue to this day. SEÑORITA EXTRAVIADA is a haunting look at a heinous crime wave amid the corruption of one of the world’s biggest border towns.
