Review of "las mujeres de Juarez"

I was intrigued by the beginning of the piece, as I initially thought that the vox pop was to establish the premise that Las Mujeres de Juarez Mexico is an under-covered story in the American media. But this point becomes clear after hearing just the first few voices in the chorus calling for more media attention and government action. I wanted to learn more about the history of this conflict and hear more personal stories from those directly affected by it. I would encourage the producer to work on a follow-up story that incorporates interviews with the survivors of this conflict and their family members, and more information about what the Mexican government is currently doing in terms of security and what it should be doing. This kind of reporting would help fill the need for more information about Las Mujeres de Juarez Mexico. Like the previous reviewer Ness, I found the haunting music to be a perfect fit for the tone of this piece. I also would have appreciated identification for the people interviewed in this piece.

Review of Las Mujeres de Juarez

Yanira Flores, of Pulse of Portland Music Project, has created a heart wrenching piece on a subject I had never heard of. Over a haunting soundtrack Yanira conducts interviews that illuminate the mystery of an all too common problem in Mexico. I would like to know who her subjects were but each one is able to connect her topic to their personal life. “We hear about it and it kind of makes you feel unsafe to go back to your country.”
The vocal audio is fuzzy and contains spikes and blips. Maybe a quieter recording environment and a better microphone would improve the audio.
Thank you Yanira for producing this piece. Air “Las Mujeres de Juarez” on a show dealing with atrocities, lack of government action, and Mexico.
