City of Dreams

Bruno Sorrentino investigates the sinister events in the Mexican border town of Juarez, where over 200 hundred women have been murdered but no one has been convicted. The victims have all been young, female assembly-line workers at the maquiladoras - American-owned factories. This programme asks whether the killings may form part of a backlash by men displaced from their roles in a traditionally male-dominated society.
