This documentary by Canadian filmmaker Julien Elie traces a journey through different cases that show the dangers of living in Mexico. Passing through Ciudad Juárez, Mexico City, Ecatepec, Veracruz, Tamaulipas and Guerrero, all the stories being told paint a full view of a country where being a woman, a student, a priest, a journalist, an activist, or simply being in a place at a certain time, can imply being a victim of disappearance, murder or torture.
