In 2001 Tijuana suffered a recession as transnationals looking to cut labor costs even further, left for Asian countries. In the global marketplace workers are mere commodities. The filmmakers, Vicki Funari and Sergio de la Torre, gave several women workers in Tijuana video cameras to make a record of their lives, giving the documentary the intimate feel of video diaries.
