[news] [VIDEO] On The Edge: The Femicide in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico

[Mostly Water - "Canadian" and International alternative news feed]

Hundreds of women have gone missing or have turned up dead in this Mexican border town just across from El Paso, Texas. Many women fear that the perpetrators act with impunity from local officials. Many of the women have been raped, their bodies mutilated.

There are a great number of parallels to be drawn between this situation and the missing women of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.

This is the first installment of "On The Edge: The Femicide in Ciudad Juarez", a film that was finished in 2006. This is the first time the entire film will be viewable online. Every Monday for the next 8 weeks, another section of the film will be made available.
