Discovery  – 1 x 60 minutes

PACHA FILMS PRODUCED & DIRECTED

Between 1993 and 2006, the so-called ¨Femicide Era¨, over 500 women were brutally murdered in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The unsolved cases caused international public outrage, putting pressure on the Mexican authorities to investigate the killings. The government responded by building a new state of the art Forensic Unit in Ciudad Juarez. But few realize that the femicides continue in large scale. With exclusive access to the Unit, the investigative police, the lives of the professionals involved and the families searching for loved ones, for the first time Discovery follows the unit as they investigate unsolved deaths. The film examines how expert skills, technology and determination is making a difference in one of the world´s deadliest cities.
