Watch SEÑORITA EXTRAVIADA on Global Voices on PBS WORLD

Posted on September 4, 2009
"Lourdes Portillo's elegiac SEÑORITA EXTRAVIADA documents with low-key persistence the conditions in Ciudad Juárez," Los Angeles Times Since 1993, over 400 young women have been raped and murdered in Juarez, Mexico. Authorities ignore pleas for justice from the victims' families, and the crimes go unpunished. Most disturbingly, evidence of government complicity remains uninvestigated as the killings continue to this day. SEÑORITA EXTRAVIADA is a haunting look at a heinous crime wave amid the corruption of one of the world's biggest border towns. SEÑORITA EXTRAVIADA airs Sunday, August 30 at 10:00 PM on Global Voices on PBS WORLD (check local listings). A co-presentation with Latino Public Broadcasting and P.O.V.
