"In the summer of 1998, on a research trip to Tijuana, Mexico, I met Delfina 
Rodriguez, a maquiladora worker who had been accused by her employer of 
trying to start a union in the plant. To coerce her into resigning, her 
manager had locked her in a room without food, water, bathroom or phone for 
twelve hours. She had signed a letter of resignation under duress and then, 
once she was released, she sued her former employer for violation of her 
civil rights. Her boss told the judge that she was insane, that nothing had 
happened and that she had no proof. Her coworkers were afraid to testify on 
her behalf. I was convinced that there must have been surveillance cameras 
recording what happened to her during her internment. Dolores from 10 to 10 
is my interpretation of what the cameras saw."
