The maquiladoras hire mostly Mexican women to work long hours for little money in order to produce mass quantity products.

Instead, her editor George Morgan assigns her to investigate a series of slayings involving young maquiladora factory women in a Mexican bordertown.
What to know before choosing
Crime splits into two families that have nothing in common: the investigation, which promises an answer, and the criminal film, which follows people you know from the first scene are going to fall. The first wants your attention; the second works when you are tired. Both are here, and the rating does not tell them apart: read the summaries. This is the genre where a good and a bad evening hang on that single detail.
Hulu is the deepest television catalog in the country and a film catalog that rotates faster than any of its rivals — what is here this month is often gone the next, which is why a list about it is worth exactly the date it carries. Its film library leans heavily on the last thirty years and thins out sharply before that. The ad-supported tier carries the same catalog as the ad-free one, so nothing on this page is out of reach on the cheaper plan.
