Some movies entertain, but this isn't one of those. Some movies have a way of creeping into the very core of our soul - and staying there. The story and images of _Sin Señas Particulares_ (it's Mexican name), will be with me forever. This film takes place in a very real world in which I thankfully do not live - the cartels and the opportunists that exist in a lawless society that has been fueled by the American weapons industry. There are other films that touch this subject, but no film I've seen has the power and humanity of Fernanda Valadez' amazing work.
