The downtown Los Angeles Doheny Campus of Mount St. Mary's College is hosting a free community screening of the documentary film "Señorita Extraviada," or "Missing Young Woman" at 7 p.m. Feb. 11.

The screening -- which kicks off the college's Second Annual Human Rights Film Festival -- tells the story of the killings of young women of Juaréz, Mexico, one of the world's largest border cities.

Since 1993, more than 270 young women have been raped and murdered in a chillingly consistent and brazen manner. Since director Lourdes Portillo stopped filming the movie, more women have been murdered and the crimes remain unsolved. Women's groups, human rights organizations, and unions have launched a national anti-violence campaign in response to the murders.

The screening is sponsored by the college's sociology department, which includes studies in documentary film production and human rights advocacy. The film will be seen in the Doheny Campus Lecture Hall, 10 Chester Place, Los Angeles.
