Large American companies use Mexico’s cheap labor to produce high-tech products. Countless Mexican women assemble parts in large factories for more than 10 hours a day, and they are sent back to town by the company's shuttle bus during off hours. Other than that, the company does not provide any benefits or guarantees.
At the same time, nearly 5,000 women were raped and killed in Mexico, and their bodies were buried in the desert. The government concealed the true figures and claimed that only more than 500 people had suffered this bad luck, and that the murderer had been arrested and brought to justice.
Eva is one of many female workers. One day she was forcibly taken into the desert after get off work. After being bullied, she was buried. A few days later, Eva survived and returned to town.
Lauren, an ordinary female reporter of the Chicago Herald, went to Mexico alone to investigate and report the incident in order to obtain a position as a foreign correspondent. In her words: this is a once in a life time story. This is just a story.
The two women met in Mexico.
J Lo played the role of Lauren. Unsurprisingly, Lauren was originally a Mexican. His parents were also workers and were killed. Lauren was adopted by an American family. Her black hair was dyed golden yellow. Happy childhood, good education, lofty ideals and goals, and a lifelong career. Later she said that she had been running away from the fact that she was originally Mexican.
Eva is a 17-year-old girl from a small village in Mexico. Her temporary residence in the city was piled up with broken iron sheets. Without electricity, the theft caused several fires instead. Buying a doll for yourself after get off work may be the biggest reward. It is precisely because of this job that she has the opportunity to come to the city and have an idol in her heart like a city dweller. Even in the most sinister moment, as long as she sees an idol, she can be secretly happy. When Eva was buried alive, she was still carrying the factory costume, the slave costume.
Lauren and Eva are the same people, but their destiny is decidedly different.
Eva asked Lauren why there were no children, and Lauren said that because he had a job.
Eva doesn't understand what job makes a woman have no time to have children.
Lauren said that this job is called a career, a job in which you have to sacrifice other things for it.
Eva didn't understand, because she just wanted to go home and go back to the small village.
In the process of helping Eva, Lauren found himself, found the true protagonist behind the story-life, and found the truth that should be tested by sunlight.
However, the Mexican government’s life-threatening report cannot be made public, and the Chicago headquarters did not publish the story about Eva, because it directly affected the free trade agreement between the United States and the Mexican government.
At this time, Eva also found the last reason why the same woman's destiny was so different: the United States.
Jiang Liaochen, who has been studying Spanish for some time, said: Actually Mexico is a very good country. The most unfortunate thing is that it is next to the United States. The rural people in Mexico want to go to the cities, and the urban people want to go to the United States. Mexico's ethnography is fading.
Eva has always believed that I should be an American, and I want to erase the memory of being a Mexican.
However, the memory of the tragic death of the parents is the same as the color of their own hair, which cannot be changed.
Lauren gave up the opportunity to be a foreign correspondent provided by the headquarters. The boss reprimanded:
"News is no longer news,
just like the typewriter I used. They are outdated.
Now American companies are the protagonists.
Their news agenda is free trade,
globalization and entertainment.
This is our bright future."
Lauren thought In fact, we are not much better than those Mexican women, we are also being enslaved.
Sigh: Mexicans! Why should your history be written by Americans?
The film concludes by saying that these injured women are now under the protection of a human rights organization.
Human rights...
I think of the workers in Shanxi who are still tied up in the mine, and the brick kiln workers who have not been rescued.
Which government does not hide the truth?
Which country does not enslave the people?
Eva and the others can still work in the bright factory.
Pity our workers have not adapted to the sun.
I think of the conference on the concept of scientific development on the homepage of Sina. Leaders under the SLR lens, are you ignorant, or are we foolish people?
Lauren grabbed a photo of the newly discovered body and was caught by the police. He grabbed the camera and tried to extract the film.
Lauren said: It's digital.
Technology has progressed, the times have developed, and some things have not changed.
People are still enslaving people, no matter where they are, no matter how high-sounding they are described.
