What happens

Bordertown is a 2007 American crime drama film written and directed by Gregory Nava, and starring Jennifer Lopez (who also served as a producer), Martin Sheen, Maya Zapata, Sônia Braga and Antonio Banderas. This is the third film which featured the collaboration between Nava and Lopez, following the 1997's biopic film Selena and 1995's My Family. The film is inspired by the true story of the numerous female homicides in Ciudad Juárez originally brought to light in documentaries produced by Tom Golden and tells the story of an inquisitive American reporter sent in by her American newspaper to investigate the murders. Lopez also recorded a song for the film entitled Porque La Vida Es Asi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
