Brainstorm #5 - Olivia Brunner-Gaydos

The documentary Senorita Extraviada looks into the hundreds of deaths and missing women in Ciudad Juarez. These are women and girls of all ages who have gone missing and seemingly leaving behind no explanation or evidence of what has happened to them. Along with the murders and disappearances, there seems to be little to no investigation into where they went. The police found bodies but the crime scenes were contaminated and evidence would go. missing. The murders gave off this idea that women are disposable and the lack of effort to find them by the government and police enforced this idea. The documentary even shows exploitation and corruption in the Juarez police. 
Thankfully,  the missing girls have their families and friends who are continuing to fight for them. These people left faking this tragedy haven't given up on their missing loved ones.  There are protests calling for action and more effort into the investigations. They continue to ask questions and are trying to fill in where the police are constantly falling short. The families have organized search parties in the desert to look for the girls are determined to stop whoever or whatever is taking.
