Once bearing the subtitle “Murder Capital of the World”, the northern Mexican city of Ciudad Juárez is a bustling laboratory of the future – a glimpse into the perfect-storm of economy driven politics, US drug consumption, government corruption, religious fervor, and familial honor all within the landscape of border politics. Drawn by the contradictions, history, and myth within and around this unique landscape, Theater Mitu conducted a series of interviews and investigations over a two-year period to explore the ever-complicated landscape of the US/Mexico border.
