While We Slept (The Juárez Case)
While we were sleeping (the Juárez case) a voice narrates the findings of 50 bodies from victims of femicide in the desert of Ciudad Juárez, near the border between Mexico and the United States. The epidemic of murders of trans and cisgender, mainly young, women on the border has not stopped since it began to be counted in January 1993, after the discovery of Alma Chavarria Farel, who was barely 13 years old. To date, more than 3,000 women have been reported missing in Ciudad Juárez. Lorena Wolffer marks her skin according to the places where there was evidence of violence.Audio: Rogelio SosaVideo by: Ximena Cuevas
