Backyard

A gripping, chilling, highly disturbing, factually based, 2009 film in which a tenacious Mexico detective (Ana de la Reguera) in the border town of Ciudad Juárez investigates the connection of a sadistic Egyptian rapist (Sayed Badreya) and a prominent, slick businessman (Jimmy Smits) to a series of grisly murders of many women that continues to escalate yearly and a no-nonsense radio talk show host (Joaquín Cosio) tries to keep the sex crimes and murders center stage in the minds of the public, the self-serving governor (Enoc Leaño), and the law (Alejandro Calva) while a factory worker (Amorita Rasgado) worries about her free-spirited cousin who has disappeared after rendezvousing with a former ex-boyfriend.
