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.
