Summary:	In the early hours of July 16, 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza was murdered by her abusive ex-boyfriend. With Liliana's case file abandoned by a corrupt criminal justice system, her family, including her older sister Cristina, was forced to process their grief and guilt in private, without any hope for justice. Cristina Rivera Garza returns to Mexico after decades of living in the United States to collect and curate evidence while confronting the trauma of losing her sister, and examine from multiple angles how this tragedy continues to shape who she is - and what she fights for - today.
