Ciudad Juarez is a small town on the border of Texas and Mexico. There are many large factories of multinational companies. The story begins with a female worker in the malquiladora factory. After get off work in the evening, Eva went home alone and took a bus. The driver took Eva to the wilderness and ridge with the excuse of refueling. Eva was raped by another man here and tried to murder. She survived a catastrophe, and there is a later story.
Lauren Adrian, a reporter for the Chicago Herald, was sent by the boss to investigate the matter. In order to grasp the situation, Lauren found his former partner Diaz to help. Diaz is a former lover of Lauren. Lauren returned to the United States for his career. Diaz got married and had children here, and opened an independent newspaper. After Eva escaped, things naturally spread all over the sky. The authorities searched Eva everywhere in order to cover their eyes. So Eva found Diaz's newspaper for help, she met Lauren, and the two women began to work hard to find the truth.
The murderer has been looking for Eva to kill him. Eva told Lauren everything. She hoped that Lauren would report the truth and catch the murderer. Unable to get official help, Lauren pretended to be a factory worker and got on the criminal's bus in order to find evidence. Although Lauren was fortunately not raped, he caught the driver with Diaz's help, but the main criminal did not appear. At the same time, the report Lauren sent back to Chicago was not published. The senator who originally supported the expansion of the Free Trade Area of the Americas put pressure on the newspaper.
Eva v. Driver is about to go to court. In order to save the report, Lauren returned to Chicago and tried to reason with the supervisor. But at this time, Diaz was shot and murdered in Juarez. Eva tried to smuggle to the United States illegally to avoid the murderer. The day before the trial, Lauren, who decided to give up all pursuit of the truth, returned to Juarez. What she got was news of Diaz's death. In order to find the missing Eva, she came to the village where Eva lived, but was unfortunately ambushed by the murderer. In an unexpected fire, Eva, who was deported to his home, finally saved Lauren and punished the murderer in a way of private violence. The next day, the two women came to the courtroom and revealed the truth to the public.
Lauren did not return to the United States. She took over Diaz’s newspaper and continued to report on the rape and murder of Mexican women workers. The US Congress passed a proposal to expand the Free Trade Area of the Americas to Central America, more factories will be established, and more female workers may be hired, even though the daily work is only $5. And those local valve aristocratic politicians, on the one hand, obtain huge political and economic benefits through NAFTA trade, on the other hand, they can avoid legal sanctions, rape women and shoot employees. There is a sentence in the play: There are always two kinds of laws, one is the law for the rich and the other is the law for the common people. What is even more inescapable is that the capitalists of the world have already united before the workers of the world have united. Where power and money join forces, justice and conscience are being swallowed, and the safety and lives of ordinary people are threatened.
