Concentric circles remain around the phenomenon of the women murdered in the City of Juárez, Chihuahua. Through the voice of a journalist, we listen to the story about a mother who loses her daughter, as well as the account of what happens to a recently arrived factory worker, whose situation represents the women living in Juárez. Deep and emotional stories intertwine, where the violence against these women is experienced differently; the hostile environment, however, ends up transforming all of them.

SEXUALITY

Muxe's: auténticas, intrépidas buscadoras del peligro is part of the block SEXUALITY. The selection made for this block is as complex and challenging as the processes around sexuality themselves. Surprising, conflicting, even hazardous, these films give a glimpse into present-day life in Mexico. Related to this block is the debate Hard Sex: the development of sexuality and violence in Mexico and Mexican cinema at the University of Amsterdam.
