After the North American Free Trade Agreement was signed and entered into force in 1992, the border areas of Mexico have become the new bases of many American factories, and the production of a large number of cheap labor and products has become a goal pursued by many manufacturers. During this period, a large number of homicides and violent incidents also occurred in this area. Beginning in 1993, the homicides in Juarez ranged from three deaths a year to three deaths a month, and even spread to surrounding areas. Many of the victims were young women aged 15 to 20. Both Amnesty International and Women's Rights Organization have been urging the police to pay attention. Many relatives of the victims claimed that the perpetrators of this murder were a gang of sexual sadists who specialized in raping and killing women and were connected to the upper echelons. Although the Mexican police have been investigating the case and arrested several suspects, the murders continued. The film was adapted from this case.

7.5 points, for JLO, it is not considered good among similar themes, but the selected cases and themes can be regarded as pseudo-documentaries, which is a good choice for understanding the world. The most outstanding thing in the movie is the girl's reaction after she was almost raped and killed, which made me, the audience, realize how painful and helpless the perspective of a weak victim is. JLO has also filmed "Unbearable". In fact, she is really paying attention to women, and the selection of materials is very feminist. I really like her.

Workers are enslaved by factories, factories are ruled by governments, governments are enacted by laws, laws serve capital, and weak capital is the puppet of powerful capital. In the struggle for rights, you must have the courage to face obstacles and make unyielding decisions. More importantly, you must have The career is like life and death, the motivation to fight for the right to speak, only relying on anger and licking wounds in exchange for empty fantasy and worthless sympathy for women's rights is also the same. But there is nothing too bright, but there is no moral kidnapping. "People who don't speak up are all accomplices." It is rare. The handling of the climax and ending is a little weak, but the burning cross and the Madonna in the ghetto are impressive. & The art concept of "Mexican Punk" can really come out

Lourdes Jimenez: Si, we work in the factories, we know a little English.
Lauren Adrian: Well, maybe with your little English, and my VERY little Spanish, we can get through this.
