Trailer for "On The Edge: The Femicide in Ciudad Juarez"

Enviado por: steev2300
Descripción del video:
On The Edge is a documentary covering the brutal murders of hundreds of poor young women in the border town of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, murders that have been repeatedly ignored and unresolved by police and governments since 1993, despite the continued and persistent efforts of family members and activists to obtain justice for the victims. Rather than provide an easy, murder-mystery style solution to the crimes, the film sets out to explain the social, cultural, and economic factors that have created this situation where the killings can continue, and continue to go unpunished. In addition to explaining the circumstances, On The Edge situates the Juarez killings in the context of wider political and economic trends, showing the audience that this is not just an isolated phenomenon in one far-off city, but a glimpse at a nightmarish future for much of the world, unless something is done to prevent it.
(58 minutes, 2006, in Spanish and English with English and Spanish subtitles)

its easy to say ... ( 11 meses por emvi6)

its easy to say that but what are they to do bcarota? in our country we have a lot of rights and freedom but most poorer countries like that have hardly any at all. its hard to just leave the place if thats where they get money to live. people move there because of the work and thats mainly why. and the poorer people; especially women are discriminated against if they try and have a say about it all. there is not much they can do which is why this is so horrible

Seriously guys you ... ( 10 meses por liberatednow)

Seriously guys you all need to read up on this properly. The Juarez police, lawyers, judges and drugs cartell are the perpetrators. There is a possiblility that the services are bought by wealthy foreigners but the girls are kidnapped by police, held captive and released in the desert on the night they are to be hunted down and killed for sport.

If you didn't know There's more women killed in the border with guatemala. than in Ciudad Juarez

Yes the film ... ( 10 meses por steev2300)

Yes the film touches on that a bit. The numbers in the Guatemala femicide is about 10 times greater than in Juarez. Though it's not just on the border, many of the killings have been in Guatemala City.

La mayoria de esas ... ( 8 meses por ayalasand)

La mayoria de esas muertes ha sido los mismos grandes los que pagan o ellos mismos las hacen, solo para entretener los bajos instintos de locos que pagan por ver esos videos de torturas. O tal vez quieren mandar el enfoque para otros lados y poder teniendo libertad de traer mas veneno para la juventud y nines que desafortunadamente cada dia son miles de nuevos drogadictos. Bueno espero se entienda mi punto, muy personal por cierto.

Prolly good ol' ... ( 8 meses por watcherO4)

Muchas de las ... ( 7 meses por ael33)

Muchas de las mujeres que salen entrevistadas en este video se han hecho millonarias porque pusieron ONG´S y para callarles la boca el gobierno les dio casa, carro y dinero, entre ellas esta Luz Estela Castro o Lucha Castro quien a querido sacar ventaja politica por todo esto, invetiguen tambien a esas mujeres que lo unico que han hecho es dañar a Juárez y entorpecer las investigaciones por $ y por poder. Soy una juarense y se lo q digo.

Estoy totalmente de ... ( 7 meses por kimo128)

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con AEL33, yo tambien soy juarense y se perfectamente lo que pasa en mi ciudad. No negemos asi como ellas (ONG) alguna vez defendieron las causas de las desapercidas eso mismo se ha convertido un negocio muy bueno para ellas.
Dato curioso, algunas de las mujeres que son "desaparecidas" se han encontrado en otros estados por que se fugaron de casa y estan con su novio. Yo lo se, yo lo he visto!!!

Yes, it's true, as ... ( 7 meses por steev2300)

Yes, it's true, as ael33 said, the government has basically bribed some people to cooperate and stop making a fuss about the situation, by giving them houses, cars, money, etc. I don't know if I would say anyone has "made millions" (if i'm translating right). And I don't think any of the interviewees in the film fall into this category. Finally, yes all these things you describe do happen sometimes, but none of it takes away from the incredible atrocity of the murdered women.

Fucking american??? ... ( 7 meses por darthfrodo915)

Fucking american??? Sounds like you all have your own problems maybe you should man up and take care of your own shit instead of hateing on us, cabrone!

they may think ... ( 7 meses por 1j2klol)

they may think they're getting away with killing women in Juarez but they won't escape judgement day with God and THAT is who the killers should be fearing. They won't go unpunished.....

Where can you watch ... ( 7 meses por aaartnaz)

Where can you watch this??? Is it on dvd?

yes, see the info ... ( 7 meses por steev2300)

yes, see the info in the description above.

Has anybody heard ... ( 7 meses por ericamar03)

Has anybody heard of any American girls being murdered there? I know El Paso is just across the border....

yes, a few women ... ( 7 meses por steev2300)

yes, a few women from the U.S. who evidently happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time in Juarez are amongst the dead. one from albuquerque, 7 from El Paso, 1 from Spokane, 1 from Wyoming... this is according to the book "Harvest of Women" by El Paso Times reporter Diana Washington Valdez.

thanks so much for ... ( 7 meses por ericamar03)

thanks so much for the info. I'm gonna check out the book, I didn't know that American women had died there too. I thought maybe that was why the u.s authorities were not getting involved. makes you wonder why they were all over the Halloway story and people just don't know enough about what is going on in Juarez. I live in Albuquerque, i was surprised to find that the majority of people here have no clue, they have never heard of the killings! and we are only 4 hrs away!.....

I am so sorry to ... ( 4 meses por animalliberation0961)

I am so sorry to hear this. Juarez was a city of my childhood. Why are they being killed? The police are involved. Why don't men work in the maquiladoras? Why don't the employers help them. What can I do to help?

answers to all ... ( 4 meses por steev2300)

answers to all these questions are in the film. see the info box on this page for a link to the website to get the film or watch it online.

Is this the film ... ( 4 meses por Misantropiainvierno)

Is this the film that explains how American factories are to blame. because many of the women that were killed work for american factories I think one of them being GMC. and in order for the women to get to the factory they have to ride the factory bus which is driven by serial rapist which the factories hired out of the prisons.

this was a great ... ( 4 meses por mashkaa)

this was a great documentary.
nice to see men speaking about women's issues for once.
women are always affected the most during any economic change.

What should be ... ( 4 meses por Irishmama)

What should be frightening to Americans is that Juarez is just across the border from the states. Our church's youth group plans to go here for Mission Trip. Scares me to death...

we really need some ... ( 5 dias por gloryfighter1000)

we really need some support these murders are in the thousands the murders are happening from gang traditions to join murders and cartel munipalation and corrupt police this is only in the peoples hands the gov is to corrupt people need to fund some of these girls are even alive in sex trades i think theres a group that the mothers made and accept donations
