Bordertown |
|
 Since 1993, almost 400 women have been
murdered in Juarez, Mexico, a factory town that is home to
people who toil away at “maquiladoras” (border factories)
making cheap consumer goods for the US market. BORDERTOWN
tells the story of Lauren Fredricks (Jennifer Lopez), an
ambitious newspaper reporter, who has been sent to Juarez by
her editor (Martin Sheen) to investigate what has happened
to these hundreds of women and how the local police and
authorities have been covering up the brutal rapes and
murders. Lauren looks up her former colleague (and lover)
Alfonso Diaz (Antonio Banderas), who now runs the local
paper, and they soon uncover one of the hottest stories of
the year when they come across the only known survivor of
one of these mysterious attacks. The victim is reluctant to
speak, but Lauren convinces her to break the silence; yet
the real danger is not the murder, but the larger forces who
don’t want the story told.
