A bit Hollywood...But important message
I thought, though a bit "Hollywood Thriller", the message was clear and it helped me gain some awareness on the situation just south of me. And that's what movie making should be about. Educating us a just a little bit more. I am surprised this did not get a real release. The message was important and relevant and the acting was up to par.
This movie clearly highlighted the problems with NAFTA, where workers making products for US consumers are making $5.00 a day. This is the minimum the US Government and the American based border companies agreed on. And you wonder why people to attempt and do cross the border. Minimum wage in California is $8.25 an Hour. Huge contrast to $5.00 a day.
It also is about getting justice in a place where justice does not exist - trying to tell us, humans, to push the Mexican government and American Governments that a serious human rights situation is occurring. Over 5000 women are missing...mostly factory workers. This movie reminds us to do something and that this has to stop.
