- Synopsis:
In 2000, Lourdes Portillo gave us this cinematic story in which, for the first time, the victims of feminicide in Cd. Juárez were given face and voice. This word began to be used to name a very serious social problem that began to arise alarmingly some decades ago and, to everyone's sadness, nowadays far from diminishing has continued to increase and become present not only in that northern city, but In the rest of our country. On May 9th, one day before the big annual celebration on the occasion of the mothers, Colectivos Habitajes, in coordination with the United States Embassy and the Center for Film Studies, organized a screening of Missing Miss, with the presence of Its director and accompanied by a group of women of different backgrounds, including the journalist Mariana Berlanga, the anthropologist Abeyamí Ortega, the documentary filmmaker Amaranta Díaz and human rights lawyer Andrea Medina to reflect on the theme of the film. - Directors:
