Blood Rising

Description

Since 1994, more than 1,400 women in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, have been murdered in the 'feminocidio'. Artist Brian Maguire set out to paint portraits of some of the victims. This film, by Mark McLoughlin, examines the phenomenon of femicide - the killing of women ostensibly due to their gender - in the Mexican city Juarez; a place where femicide has become a way of life. Through the lens of an artist, Brian Maguire, who spent time in Juarez getting to know the families left behind, the film looks at the fallout and follow up to femicide and whether the families can ever find peace.
