[Wamvan] THURSDAY SEPT. 8 - Bajo Juárez - The City that Devours its Daughters

[Meenakshi Mannoe]

Hi everyone

I thought the following event could be a nice opportunity for a WAM!
gettogether. I will definitely be there, and if a number of us make
it, perhaps we could follow up with a discussion over
drinks/dessert/etc?

Cheers
Meenakshi

Taken from the website:

In the context of deaths and disappearances of their daughters,
Mothers are transforming grief into action and activism. Bajo Juarez –
The City that Devours its Daughters is a haunting documentary that
follows unsolved and highly publicized crimes against girls and women
along the Mexico-U.S. border in the town of Juarez.  Directors
Alejandra Sanchez and Jose Antonio Cordero compel new understanding of
the enormous dangers facing girls and women who work in the
maquiladoras (factories) making products for the U.S. and Canadian
marketplace.
