520 The Mexican border state of Chihuahua and its city Juárez
have become notorious the world over as hotbeds of
violence. Drug cartel battles and official corruption
result in more murders annually in Chihuahua than in
wartorn Afghanistan. Thanks to a culture of impunity, 97
percent of the killings in Juárez go unsolved. Despite a
climate of fear, a small group of human rights activists,
exemplified by the Chihuahua lawyer and organizer Lucha
Castro, works to identify the killers and their official
enablers. This is the story of La Lucha, illustrated in
beautiful and chilling comic book art, rendering in rich
detail the stories of families ripped apart by
disappearances and murders--especially gender-based
violence--and the remarkably brave advocacy, protests, and
investigations of ordinary citizens who turned their grief
into resistance
