JLo will receive a human rights award from Amnesty International for her work in bringing attention to the strange disappearances and murders of hundreds of women in the Mexican border town of Ciudad Juarez:
Lopez will receive the Artists for Amnesty award Feb. 14 at the Berlin Film Festival from Nobel Peace Prize winner Jose Ramos-Horta. The film “Bordertown” will make its debut Feb. 15 at the festival.In “Bordertown,” Lopez plays an investigative journalist reporting on the serial killings of women in the border city of Juarez, Mexico. Directed by Gregory Nava, the film also stars Antonio Banderas and Martin Sheen.
Is it just me, or does JLo seem to have gotten more “deep” since she married Marc Anthony?

Amnesty International and other groups wouldn’t support “Bordertown”, if they thought the film was disingenuous.
