Señorita Extraviada, Missing Young Woman, is a feature documentary that tells the story of the over 370 kidnapped, raped and murdered young women of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Directed by Lourdes Portillo.

Who are these women from all walks of life and why are they being murdered so brutally? The documentary moves like the unsolved mystery it is, and the filmmaker poetically investigates the circumstances of the murders and the horror, fear and courage of the families whose children have been taken. Yet it is also the story of a city of the future; it is the story of the underbelly of our global economy.
