DUAL INJUSTICE: Feminicide and Torture in Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua
Director: WITNESS
Documentary. 2005.
Mexico. 16 min. Spanish, subtitled.
Since 1993, over 400 women have been violently killed and roughly 4, 000 cases of disappeared women have been registered in
Ciudad Juarez and
Chihuahua, in northern
Mexico. Known as "feminicide, " this phenomenon has become the most embarrassing human rights scandal in recent Mexican history. Under fire for their incompetence, the police have attempted to appease public outcry by torturing people to confess to the murders. However, neither the families of the disappeared nor those of the accused believe the right people are behind bars and they have joined efforts in a remarkable common struggle for justice. This film tells the story of Neyra Azucena Cervantes, who disappeared on her way home from school in May 2003 and her cousin,
David Meza, who was later tortured to confess to her murder.
