Last night I saw a documentary that I want to share with you all.
The name of the documentary is Killer's Paradise. The documentary details the horrors faced by women in Guatemala. Shockingly explicit, so if you do have the opportunity to watch this documentary, please be advised to bring your kleenex. We're talking about women cut, maimed, decapitated.... and nothing is being done. These women are being thrown away as prostitutes and gang members - even as young as 12.
Two women are killed in Guatemala DAILY. The population of Guatemala is only about 15,000, if memory serves. Not one of the killers has been jailed. there is no recourse for the family of the victims because none of the crimes are followed up. Your daughter could be standing out on the street in broad daylight and be kidnapped before your eyes - and the police will not be able to track down the killers.
Unbelievable, I could not believe it, until I saw the families of the victims talk about this. They cried over the graves and caskets, asked god to take them and leave their children. I was so enthralled and yet so heartbroken.
I'd like to invite as many people as possible to watch this documentary and comment especially all of you hispanic women out there. You cannot watch this and not be affected by the stories. It's on the documentary channel all next month. Please follow the link for times in your area. OR alternatively, if you don't have cable, try Netflix - they always have documentaries.
Namaste
