Unforgivable crimes in Mexico

Before watching the two documentaries, The City of Dead Girls and The City of Lost Girls, I was already traumatized from watching a movie called The Poughkeepsie Tapes, which is about a serial killer in Poughkeepsie, NY. I was absolutely shocked, disgusted, and also frightened by this movie, in which women are kidnapped, raped, abused, and brutally killed. Just like the movie, the two documentaries open our eyes to such crimes that are also happening in Mexico. I could not imagine myself living in an area where countless girls at my age are raped and murdered. I was very upset at the fact that even police forces may have been helping the murderers to get away from their crimes instead of protecting their people in the city. It made me to doubt the justice system and concern for the future of the city of Mexico. It also made me to doubt about the media coverage. To think about how many stories like this were uncovered or influenced by higher authorities, it made me bitter. One must step in to punish those who might have thought they could get away from their crimes, or give an attention and support for people in the city of Mexico.

  1. I would have to agree with you. Living in an area where rapes and murders are occurring like this would be horrible.
