Episode 4
Fearful of being stolen by the drug cartels, LadyDi leaves to work as a maid in Acapulco.
Prayers For The Stolen 4/5
by Jennifer Clement
dramatised by Jeff Young
Inspired by true stories, this atmospheric drama follows 15 year old Ladydi Martinez in the mountain village of Guerrero, Nr. Acapulco, Mexico, where being a girl is a dangerous thing and mothers disguise them as sons, hiding them in holes in the ground as the drugs cartels scourge the town, looking for girls to steal. Paula's brother Mike drives LadyDi to Acapulco where she will work as a servant to a rich family. Halfway there Mike turns off down a dirt track, parks up outside a shack and locks her in the car. When he returns he hands her a plastic bag and tells her to look after it until he collects it. Life changes forever for LadyDi.
Produced and directed by Pauline Harris.
