DAY ZERO AND BORDERTOWN TWO MOVIES FOR SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS AND PROGRESSIVE SHOULD VIEW
I do claim any movie crtic like Roger Ebert but I do highly recommend two movies that you can get at Family Video or any video store. The two movies are "BORDERTOWN" and "DAY ZERO".
BORDERTOWN is a movie made by and starring Jennifer Lopez/ It a story coming from true life experiences. It revolves around young Mexican women being found missing and dead near towns near the US/?Mexican border. These towns and factories sprung after NAFTA was signed into law. Jennifer Lopez's character is a newspaper reporter sent down to investigate the missing women some of whom were when found where dead. These young females worked in BORDERTOWN factories making little money, having to take a bus to and from work. Jennifer Lopez finds a women who literally crawls up after being raped and left to die by her attackers she get this woman to go to the police. The reporter turns in a great expose on the terrible conditions. But her editor played Martin Sheen is forced to bury the article and the reporter is given a new job by the corporate run newspaper. It is great story on how NAFTA has wronged those it suppose to help the most.

The second film is "Day Zero ". Its is a movie starring Chris Kelin and Elijah Wood which depending on who gets in the White House could more truth than fiction. The plot is due to increased military activity in the Middle East namely Iran the United States government is forced to reinstate the military draft. This time the age is lifted to age 35. The story starts with three friends, how they are all friends is not truly revealed, who get a draft notice and report in 30 days.
