about living across the border from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, where
countless women and girls have been sexually assaulted and
murdered in the last 13 years. The college enrolls about 28,000
students, many of whom have missing relatives and friends
presumed to be victims of the killer or killers. Professor
Juarez shares his students’ stories and conspiracy theories in
an attempt to educate others about the horrors facing women in
Juarez, which was the subject of “To Work and Die in Juarez” in
