Backyard (Spanish: El traspatio) is a 2009 Mexican crime film directed by Carlos Carrera.^[2] The film was selected as the Mexican entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 82nd Academy Awards, but it did not make the final shortlist.

Officer Blanca Bravo (Ana de la Reguera) arrives in Juarez, Mexico to investigate a sequence of killings targeting female migrant workers. But with no help from the locals, bringing the responsible parties to justice becomes a frustrating exercise. As Bravo rails against indifference and local corruption, she finds herself on a collision course with Mickey Santos (Jimmy Smits), a Mexican mogul with a taste for young prostitutes.^[3]
