A powerful story of life on the border between the United States and Mexico. Bordertown is based on the tragic account of hundreds of women working in American-owned factories who have been brutally raped and murdered in Juarez, a city gripped by fear. The attacks have been covered up by the local authorities, and still continue today.
When editor of the Chicago Sentinel George Morgan (Golden Globe? Winner Martin Sheen) sends ambitious reporter, Lauren Adrian (Golden Globe? Nominee Jennifer Lopez), to Juarez, Mexico to investigate the murders, what she finds is the story of a lifetime. Eva (Maya Zapata), a young woman who was raped and left for dead in the desert, is the only woman to survive an attack. Unable to go to the police for help, she turns to a local newspaper run by Diaz Alfonso (Two-Time Golden Globe? Nominee Antonio Banderas), former friend and colleague of Lauren's. Hiding Eva is incredibly dangerous, but Lauren knows that publishing her story is the only way to espose the truth behind the murders. She is determined to find Eva's attackers but soon finds herself immersed in a dangerous web of corruption that extends to both sides of the border.
