They will not silence our voices (No callarán nuestras voces)

The film explores threats and gendered violence against Mexican female journalists. Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries in which to practice journalism, and female journalists face a double challenge: working in a country with a high level of hostility against journalists while the country is ravaged by femicides. This short doc is a byproduct of an academic research project. 

Special thanks to the brilliant work of female journalists, activists and academics in Mexico, whose combined efforts have contributed to this short-doc. Your work and voices have truly inspired this work. I cannot thank you enough.
