The Center of Latin American Studies will play host to a free screening tonight of “Senorita Extraviada,” a documentary about the kidnapping, rape and murder of hundreds of women in Juarez, Mexico, since the early ’90s. The screening starts at 7 p.m. in 4012 Wescoe Hall.
Before the screening, Laura Herlihy, Latin American Studies lecturer, will talk about the film and the situation it depicts.
This documentary is the second of four in the center’s annual documentary series. Next Wednesday the center will show “Zapatista,” about the Zapatista movement against capitalism in Mexico. The following week brings “Cowboy del Amor,” a documentary comedy about a man arranging marriages between American men and Mexican women.
Harry Swartz, Lawrence graduate student, said he hoped the film series would raise awareness about diverse issues.
“We’re just trying to give more exposure to Latin American issues,” Swartz said. “And if we get more Latin American Studies majors out of it, that doesn’t hurt either.”
All of these screenings are free and open to everyone.
