Juarez, City of Impunity

Since 1993, more than 375 women have been raped, tortured and brutally murdered in Ciudad Juarez, a Mexicain city located near the Texas border. A decade later, President Vicente Fox still considers this trivial state affair and refuses to intervene. In Ciudad Juarez, murderers kill with impunity in a context of surprising indifference, and those who dare speak out publicly are often subject to threats. In 2001, Martine Forand led a risky investigation. She directed a hard-hitting one-hour documentary where she delivers the results of her research. She and her crew met the victims' mothers, who told their incredible stories, and described their anguish and how they have been treated by Mexicain authorities.
