Day 11
We say goodbye to El Paso. We expect a ten hours trip to reach Laredo. The last postcard the city offers us is a vision of the other side, of Mexico, of Ciudad Juarez, the city which will stay in history as the city of pain and impunity. The city where hundreds of women were killed, tortured, and disappeared since the nineties and nobody knows exactly why. I have a chat with my colleague and friend German Canseco, Proceso's magazine photographer.
From El Paso to Laredo
March for the dead
During the trip,memories from yesterday procession burst into my dreams. It looks like we are carrying a cross, invisible but so heavy. This cross is the pain of the families. The plan is to bring it to Washington and to plant it in front of the Capitole. They must know, they must act.
