While running out the door, I cannot resist (or ignore) the media attention on a new documentary regarding the killing of women in Guatemala.
Known as Femicide, these murders are all too common-place in a country whose culture does not value the life and contributions of women.
This is not uncommon. While the finger points at Guatemala, there are many, many, too many other countries worldwide that share this philosophy regarding the used an disposal of the 'softer' sex.
However, from what I gather this documentary is a fantastic glimpse into this patriarchal mindset -- which is why I wanted to make mention of the film.
