Unbelievable Cruelty
The two documentaries The City of Dead Girls and The City of Lost Girls provided prime examples of tragic global events that are not covered by the media. I was absolutely disgusted and shocked at the unforgivable crimes that have occurred and continue to occur in Ciudad Juarez. The fact that these brutal rapes and murders were happening was a shock in itself. However, when the documentaries shed light on the ignorant nature of Mexico's police force and the corruption of their justice system, it made me lose hope for the inhabitants of the city. I even felt ashamed at the fact that I had no knowledge of such events before watching the documentaries. I failed to realize that not all people are blessed with a "normal" life, and watching these documentaries was an eye-opening experience.

This was the fist time I heard of what happening down in Mexico. I hate that I'm so ignorant to such events that are happening as we speak. This is one good thing about our the new global media, it helps spread awareness !
ReplyDeleteI was completely shocked by the police involvement then that the judge post-poned court indefinitely is is outrageous. there is no way of getting to the bottom of it until the government is over thrown. I think they will need some extreme back up.
