Based on the real life killings, 'The Virgin of Juarez' connects issues of politics, fanaticism and religion with murder and violence in Mexico and East L.A. While on assignment investigating a string of unsolved brutal female murders in the border town of Cuidad Juarez, Los Angeles based reporter Karina Danes (Minnie Driver) meets Mariela (Ana Claudia Talancón), a rare survivor of one of the vicious attacks. During her recovery, Mariela sees visions of the Virgin Mary and experiences the phenomenon of stigmata, and her story soon draws a devout following while her sermons galvanize a public in need of hope.
