Juarez. Mexico's Murder City

Description

Situated across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, the Mexican City of Juárez has become one of the most dangerous cities in the world. It is a major conduit for illegal drugs passing from Mexico to the United States and a bloody battleground as cartels murder each other and innocent civilians. People have been strangled, beheaded, dismembered, and stoned to death: a mere shooting hardly gets any attention. The film tells the human stories behind these atrocities.
