A Risk-taker Knew the Dangers

Warning: Spoilers
A few minutes into the documentary about Kate Del Castillo's life meeting El Chapo, you hear her sister, Veronica (a journalist in Mexico) saying, "I pinned my sister against the wall...like she's got a death wish." Here in the States we enjoy certain freedoms of what we can and can't say. Some Countries you can't do that in and MExico is one of them. Yes, they violated her human rights, but making a comparison of how corrupt the Government is to someone like El Chapo isn't exactly smart. I've seen a number of Kate's movies/shows, and she's not a terrible actress, nor a terrible human being. She's made mistakes like we all do. I wouldn't go bad-mouthing someone simply for not liking their work, or thinking they put themselves in danger. It's true that Sean Penn isn't the best man in the world when it comes to offering protection, and he didn't extend it to Kate Del Castillo: in that extent he did put her life at risk, but the real reason she was in danger was the fact El Chapo fell for her. She didn't realize her comments would inflame someone as dangerous as he is. And still is. I feel like her sister does, hopefully she sees how badly she came to death from her own government and won't do that again. I'm glad she's a fighter and stands up for her rights. We all should. But maybe there's a better way to fight a corrupt governmental system without putting ourselves in a bad situation we can't get out of. The only spoiler is where her sister keeps her from harm as chidlren.
