Every F*cking Day of My Life. 7 Great Rock N’ Roll Documentaries To Get You Started. When I was 15, I went to London for the summer on a college prep program.
My favorite movie then was The Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night. My big celebrity crush was a young George Harrison. Because of this, I imagined London would be a black-and-white vision where fangirls chased old-fashioned town cars down the street. I expected Mick Jagger or Eric Clapton to be rooster-dancing or strumming at every pub. I anticipated hip teenagers wearing striped A-Line mini-dresses, their stylish hair flipped up at the ends. Señorita Extraviada. Synopsis Someone is killing the young women of Juárez, Mexico.
Since 1993, over 270 young women have been raped and murdered in a chillingly consistent and brazen manner. Authorities ignore pleas for justice from the victims’ families and the crimes go unpunished. Most disturbingly, evidence of government complicity remains ininvestigated as the killings continue to this day. Crafting a film that is both a poetic meditation and a mystery, Lourdes Portillo’s Señorita Extraviada is a haunting investigation into an unspeakable crime wave amid the disorders and corruption of one of the biggest border towns in the world.
