Actors Turn Attention to Human Rights

The stars of the critically-acclaimed film “Y Tu Mama Tambien” are turning their attention to social injustices in Mexico.  Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna held a gala dinner in Mexico City to raise money for the Mexican Commission for the Defense and Promotion of Human Rights, and Witness, an organization started by singer Peter Gabriel that promotes the use of video and film to document human rights abuses.

Garcia Bernal and Luna said they would make documentaries to raise awareness of issues such as the unsolved murders of more than 300 women in Ciudad Juarez.
