Senorita Extraviada is the series premier of a year-long Spanish Language film series that will be presented on the 1st & 3rd Monday of each month excluding holidays. (Park City will participate on the first and third Sunday of each month.)

The story of hundreds of kidnapped, raped and murdered young women of Juarez, Mexico. Though the murders first came to light in 1993, young women from all walks of life continue to “disappear“, and there seems to be no hope of bringing the perpetrators to justice. Moving with this unsolved mystery, the filmmaker poetically investigates the circumstances of the murders, and the horror, fear and courage of the families whose children have been taken. It is the story about a city of the future, and the underbelly of our global economy.
