j.lo photo Jennifer Lopez will receive a humanitarian award for producing and starring in a movie examining the murders of hundreds of women in a Mexican border town, Amnesty International has announced.

The singer/actress will be honoured with the Artists for Amnesty award on February 14 at the Berlin Film Festival, at which the movie - 'Bordertown' - will debut. She will be presented with the award by Nobel Peace Prize winner Jose Ramos-Horta.

In 'Bordertown', Jennifer plays a journalist investigating the serial killings of women in Juarez, Mexico.

"Since first hearing of these atrocities in 1998, when [director] Gregory Nava came to me with this project, I desperately wanted to tell this story," J.Lo said.

"I began working to ensure we made this film in order to bring the attention of the world to this tragedy and to pressure the Mexican government to bring to justice those responsible for these horrible crimes."

The movie also stars Antonio Banderas and Martin Sheen.
