Señorita Extraviada (Missing Young Woman), Lourdes Portillo (Dir.)
74 mins. (2001)Sunday March 23, 2 pm
This award-winning film investigates the kidnapping, rape and murder of more than 350 young women from assembly plants that line the Mexican-US border. It documents a two-year search for answers and unravels the layers of complicity in a crime of this magnitude.
This program accompanies Alex Martinis Roe’s exhibition Storytelling Liberation. Intended as invitation, resource and instrument, the exhibition seeks to foster international anti-colonial and feminist alliances by sharing tools for telling stories about social justice movements.
Storytelling Liberation was made in collaboration with Katerina Teaiwa, ASKI Contemporary Greek Social History Archives, Gladys Kalichini, Alexandra Juhasz, Andrea Ortega and Diana Betanzos.
