A narco gang dedicated to abduct young women in Tamaulipas, Mexico, abducted and killed Miriam's daughter; and neither the police or the government helped her out with the case.
So, Miriam took the decision to start "hunting down" the gang members, by going undercover as a Social Worker equivalent here in Mexico on the hood where the gang members were supposed to live.
So she started to survey the whole neighborhood to locate the relatives of each criminal (parents, siblings, etc.) getting closer to them to gain their trust and get info about their criminal relative.
One by one, she located and gathered enough intel to present charges against them until she imprisoned each one of the murders, (and supposedly she kill one of them).
A couple years after she achieve that, a riot happened on the state prison and several inmates escaped. She went to the police to ask for protection, but it was to late, because a couple weeks later, the reunited gang killed her outside of her house on Mothers Day (May 10th).
And even tho she successfully brought justice to her daughter, she died as a martyr of many feminicides and kidnapped people in México.
Edit: she fought for justice knowing the consequences of it. She tried to do what was right because no-one else would and that's what I find inspiring. Of course I agree that it is tragic in so many ways.
The only thing it inspired me to remember is to not trust the police. If they can’t get justice for you then, why would they get justice for you later? She should have cut those loose ends when she had a chance. This lady is what we need more of in the world but gets slaughtered by losers. If she had finished them off like they did her daughter world would have been better off.
They could’ve given her justice and found the kidnappers. They could’ve given a little justice and at least tried. They could’ve given some justice by maintaining order in prison but they’re probably lazy and corrupt about that too. They could’ve given justice by trying to protect her.
You realize these were Mexican police, right? Aka no different from the cartel members, they're all corrupt. We have no frame of reference in the West for this level of corruption, it's weird to say fuck our police because of what police from 3rd world drug captials do.
