Comment on The movie Bordertown

I just saw this movie for the first time. I was born and raised in El Paso and moved in 1993. I just can not believe that this is still being allowed to go on. If you thought this movie was powerful, you need to watch a documentary by Lourdes Portillo called "Senorita Extraviada", not for the weak at heart. After watching this documentary, I was scared for these young women, sad and mostly angry. It will tug at all your emotions.
I don't understand why the world is turning a blind eye to this like the mass genocide that occurred in Rwanda in 1993. Have we learned nothing? Where is the humanity?
Being that these rapists/murderers are becoming bolder in their assaults, whose to say they won't start targeting young American women that cross over into Mexico everyday for whatever reason. Will the US become more involved in aiding in solving these crimes then?

I really like this article and I strongly believe that a change needs to be made and something seriously needs to be done to protect all the voiceless women in Juarez....I think NAFTA is a joke it is more like a slavery trade rather then a free trade like they are saying it is in North America...Countless of women are dying for the States pleasures, while they sit on their samsung cell phones to watching TV on their sanyo television system...Instead of being on the phone with friends and watching TV the should get off their ass's and do something about the murders and disappearance's of all the women in Juarez and everywhere else in Mexico....

this is the most horrible thing ever!!
how could this be allowed to happen? Mexico government disgusts me.. I completely understand and agree the american companies located there should most definitly provide more security for thier workers just as they would here in the US but the mexico gov allows them to get away with not paying the employee decent wages & providing proper security... I just don't understand.. These are just young girls. not mexican girls. just girls. I'm so sick of people downing mexico and not caring what is happening to these girls. but being the jaurez drug cartel and corrupt mexican police and gov. what are we suppose to do?

how could any country allow this to happen.. Pure evil is what it is.
wonder how the drug cartel,corrupt mexican or an gov offical would feel if it was their daughter or sister or neice.
there girls lives are no less important than ours. something must be done.
It really makes you look at the men in mexico with pure disgust.. because you don't know which one of them is responsible for these crimes.

Are the above addresses still correct, and is it a good idea to write to these companies still today? If so, I will ask my church members to participate.

We KNOW why it didn't come out! And I am sooooo pissed! I have seen this movie already, and it is a VERY disturbing movie in regards to NAFTA. It makes the US and Mexican authorities look soo bad that they MUST have put the kibosh on it. What is sooo frustrating is that I LOVED this movie! Wikipedia says 'According to media reports, the audience reacted with a mixture of "boos and muted applause" when the film finished screening.' Well, we all know the media can be bought and sold in this country! I'm no movie critic, but I was on the edge of my seat from the beginning to end. I am not the biggest fan of JLo, but I don't care what those liars said, she was darn good. As was Banderas.

I saw a bootleg copy of the movie, and really regret that I didn't keep it so that I can show it to EVERYONE I know. This movie is POWERFUL. If I can find out where the bootleg originated, I'd love to send you and anyone else a copy. THE TRUTH MUST BE TOLD. This movie has haunted me since I saw it two months ago. Please Please find out what is happening!
