The Virgin of Juarez
Available on Prime Video
Based on the real life killings, The Virgin of Juarez connects issues of politics, fanaticism and religion with murder and violence in Mexico and east L.A. While on assignment investigating a string of unsolved brutal female murders in the border town of Ciudad Juarez, Los Angeles based reporter Karina Danes (Minnie Driver) meets Mariela (Ana Claudia Talancón), a rare survivor of one of the vicious attacks. During her recovery, Mariela sees visions of the Virgin Mary and experiences the phenomenon of stigmata, and her story soon draws a devout following while her sermons galvanize a public in need of hope.
