Since 1993, over 400 women have been violently killed in Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua in no
Since 1993, over 400 women have been violently killed in Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua in northern Mexico. Known as "feminicide," this phenomenon has become one of the most embarrassing human rights scandals in recent Mexican history. Under fire for their inability to resolve these crimes, the police have attempted to appease the public outcry by torturing people to confess to the murders. However, neither the families of the disappeared nor those of the accused believe the right people are behind bars.
"Dual Injustice" tells the story of Neyra Cervantes, who disappeared in May 2003, and her cousin, David Meza, who was tortured to confess to her murder.
As authorities were slow to investigate Neyra's case, her family called upon David, who traveled 1,500 miles to help search for her. As they increasingly pressured authorities to properly investigate, they were told, "You want a culprit? You will have him very soon." One week later, David was arrested.
"Dual Injustice" chronicles how the families of Neyra and David have joined efforts in a remarkable struggle to end the rampant impunity enjoyed by those authorities who have referred to the murders of women as "hype" and have fabricated culprits.

In the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where civil war has taken more than four mill
In the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where civil war has taken more than four million lives, children as young as six are routinely recruited by militias and taught to kill. It is estimated that children, most between 8 and 16 years old, make up 60% of combatants in the region.
A Duty to Protect tells the story of Mafille and January, two girls who were recruited into the military at thirteen and ten years of age respectively. Mafille is a demobilized girl soldier whose experience of violence and secual exploitation cause her deep emotional scars. January is a girl soldier whose bravado veils her suffering, and whose characater and perceptions personify the complexity of the conflict and the views of the local population. This unique video also looks at the effects of the recruitment and use of child soldiers on their families and the broader community, concluding that the people of eastern D.R.C. wish for peace and justice in their region.

Every year, more than 25,000 workers are enslaved by landowners in rural Brazil, mostly in the Amazon region. This video tells the story of men who set out in search of work and are taken to isolated ranches, only to find that they have been lured into debt bondage. Forced to do backbreaking work and to live in overcrowded shacks with no running water, they are treated like animals. "A bullet from my shotgun is what you have a right to here", one worker was told. With no way out, they toil in the hope of buying back their freedom.
