The Three Deaths of Marisela Escobedo is a gripping documentary that delves into the tragic story of Marisela Escobedo, a mother who goes to extraordinary lengths to seek justice for her daughter's murder.

The film begins with the horrific murder of Marisela's teenage daughter, Rubí Fraire, in the Mexican city of Ciudad Juárez. Rubí was kidnapped, tortured, and brutally killed by her former boyfriend, Sergio Barraza, despite numerous attempts by Marisela to protect her and seek help from the authorities.

Shattered by grief, Marisela embarks on a tireless quest to ensure that Barraza is arrested, tried, and convicted for the heinous crime. However, much to Marisela's despair, she soon discovers that the Mexican justice system is corrupt and deeply flawed.

Despite overwhelming evidence against Barraza, including witness testimonies and even a confession from him, the case is mishandled by the police and the legal system. Barraza is ultimately acquitted of the charges, leaving Marisela and her family devastated.

Undeterred by the shocking failure of the justice system, Marisela embarks on a one-woman crusade for justice. She becomes an activist, staging protests, holding press conferences, and even traveling to Mexico City to confront government officials. Marisela's determination and relentless pursuit of justice attract national and international attention, turning her into a symbol of hope for countless other families who have also suffered from Mexico's flawed justice system.

However, Marisela's fight for justice comes at a great personal cost. She faces constant threats and harassment from unknown assailants who attempt to intimidate her into silence. With her life in constant danger, Marisela becomes increasingly frustrated and disillusioned with the system that failed her daughter.

Tragically, Marisela's fight ends in her own untimely death. On December 16, 2010, while the cameras are rolling and capturing her brave battle, she is shot and killed outside the governor's office in Chihuahua, Mexico.

The Three Deaths of Marisela Escobedo not only tells the heart-wrenching story of a mother's love and perseverance but also sheds light on the larger issue of femicide and the rampant impunity that plagues Mexico's justice system. The documentary serves as a powerful indictment of a system that allowed Rubí's killer to walk free and played a role in the death of Marisela herself.
