MAN: I'll tell you something

a guy who grows up
in a rich neighborhood

with a father who is a
lawyer or a politician

got it easy, man

This a big chunk of cash

$100,000 in each package

there are other
guys whose parents

have to slave in a store

MAN: How do you
know my struggle?

have you slept in a park?

have you cried
yourself to sleep?

when you were 12 years old?

I got 5 kids and
I'm only 22 years old

so you tell me

did I do wrong
or did I do right?

MAN 2: Goddamn gringos

they didn’t get us

We are bringing
$120,000 dollars

We make 3 trips per
week to deliver money

This money is
for 3 kilos of heroin

RAFA: There is a
saying that goes

United States
gives the weapons

Mexico gives the dead

Americans engage
in the wars they want

in Mexico war just shows up

There are a number
of organizations

that are in the
narcotrafficking business

and the production of drugs

but now Mexico
is too contaminated

the areas that
should be cleaned up

are the ones operated
by the southern cartels

which are the
most conflicted areas

IMRA: Corruption in Mexico

went from being
an isolated incident

to be a political system

CARMEN: Throughout the years

the PRI party became
the crime administrator

from its position of power

RAFA: There are no jobs here

there are few ways to survive

you’ve got do
what you’ve got do

weapons and migration

are treated as if
they are both a crime

but you never know the
reality of an immigrant

People migrate out of need

Migration is not a crime

because we have
the right to a better life

WOMAN: Border
officials expect today

another caravan
from Central America

arriving to the border

between Guatemala and Mexico

MAN: We are in Guatemala
and we'll make it to Mexico

ALL: We are not criminals!

We are workers!

LUDY: I need to
find my boyfriend

if I am not with him
I don’t feel protected

because if someone
wants to hurt me

I know he will protect me

there he is

MAN: this is
serious "border love"

LUDY: I wasn't planning
to leave my country

but when I saw
the caravan leaving

I gave it a thought

I don't have
family in Honduras

I have no job or
a place to sleep

I should leave

maybe my life
will change there

I just turned 17

I truly hope that
my life will change

In Honduras lots of
young women are raped

I am a rape victim

MAN: The gangs commit crimes

and we get blamed

They have to capture
the gangsters and rapists

MAN 2: The reason we are here

is because our
goddamn president

where are the
jobs and projects

that would
employ young people?

That's why we
are migrating here

LUDY: I just want to
see you and kiss you

because nobody can
love you like I do

Nobody will tell
you I love you like me

LUDY: All these guys

we know each other
since we were kids

and they have
never left me alone

for me they are my family

not blood family
but hood family

ALL: The people united
will never be defeated

LUDY: Mexico here we come

MAN: This caravan is causing

militarization and closing
at the southern border

LUDY: We crossed

LUDY: What we are looking for

is what we can’t
find in our country

I came to have a future

to leave suffering behind

It gives me
strength and motivation

to travel with the
people in the caravan

MAN: We have no money

people here in Guatemala

have supported us

they have given us
food water and clothing

MAN 2: I left Honduras
with 1,000 lempiras

LUDY: We are about 15 people

MAN 3: only men

LUDY: I am the only
girl in this group

MAN 4: We know we'll
encounter gangs and extortion

and cartels

but if we stick together
we’ll defend ourselves

MAN: Cross over!

You can do it!

People crossed the river
and are already in Mexico

nobody is being detained

LUDY: Then let’s
cross the river

MAN: Let's do it

LUDY: It feels so
nice to be in the water

We are so happy
to step into Mexico

Mexico here we are!

SARA: I have never
traveled in a caravan

but I heard that
children are allowed

CHAROL: We left Guatemala

because my stepfather
was causing problems

my mother suffered his abuses

my brothers were beaten

the problems started

when he got involved
in drug trafficking

SARA: There was
so much violence

that we couldn't go out

there is a gang that
comes from the city to kill

recently they killed
a little girl we knew

she was only 10 years old

they shot her

Now we are waiting

for the Mexican
humanitarian visa

LUIS: In Mexico humanitarian
visas are for sale

some may spend months
filling out requirements

in Mexico you can buy
a visa for 50,000 pesos

MAN: the United States
border will start here

Chiapas will be
the biggest funnel

for people who want to
get to the Northern border

SARA: People help us out

they give us food

we appreciate that people
give us food or water

I want to go all
the way to Tijuana

but I have to
protect my kids

from the youngest
to the oldest

REPORTER: In
San Fernando, Tamaulipas

72 bodies were found

they are presumably migrants

SOLDIERS: War!

Kill

Blood

Die

SANTIAGO: Poppies
in the mountains

have been sown

for over 40 years

and after all these years

people continue to be screwed

WOMAN: I know this
is against the law

but how am I
supposed to get the money

to dress my children?

MAN: On a good day

we get one and a
half kilos of gum

SANTIAGO: These people
are not narco-traffickers

they farm a
plant that is illegal

because it is the only
thing they have been taught

The government didn't
teach them this trade

outsiders came to teach
them how to grow poppies

MAN: People from
Sinaloa came here

and taught us how
to grow this plant

SANTIAGO: Once we take
the gum out of the poppy

that is the end
of the farmer's job

from there on the
narco-trafficking starts

it all ends up
in the United States

MAN: Nowadays there
is not much work

our business is not doing well

making pure heroin
became expensive

synthetic opioids
took over the market

and our business
has gone down the drain

this is already dried

it takes about 3 hours
of work to get 2 kilos

if it gets wet
then you ruin it

out of ten kilos you
may get about one kilo

let's see how much we got here

let's say this is 5 kilos

which is about 35,000 pesos

in the United States
we sell it for much more

and get a huge profit

MAN: That’s when
the cartel got strong

and by the 1980s they
were a very powerful group

JOSÉ: In 1984 a huge
ranch was discovered

the Buffalo ranch

owned by
Rafael Caro Quintero

it was later discovered

that the plantation had
the blessing of the U.S.

the plan was that
the money collected

with the sale of this crop

would fund the
Contras in Nicaragua

a plan masterminded
by Oliver North

MAN: In the 1980s

the demand of drugs
in the U.S. changed

and cocaine
consumption increased

and the cocaine was sent

from Columbia to
the United States

by the Caribbean route

but President Ronald Reagan

closed the drug trafficking
Caribbean route

MAN: and that
forced the Columbians

to use Mexico and its
drugtrafficking organizations

CHARLI: Everyone had
their own territories

Tijuana

Nogales

Juarez

each one commanded
their own turf

their business was united

El Chapo and the
Beltrán Leyvas
worked together

since the early days
of the narco business

they were lifelong allies

MAN: When I was a child

I would look at
El Chapo's people

I wanted to be just like them

my dream was

to work for El Chapo one day

we know El Chapo is famous

he has helped
people in these towns

and we would like
to see him out of prison

CHARLI: El Chapo
had a political
discourse about Sinaloa

and he would speak
for all the people

and he got our support

if he hadn't been caught

maybe we would be less doomed

ANTONIO: In Acapulco
in the early 90s

everything was
controlled by the narcos

they had a golden life

with a party lifestyle

they started
buying nightclubs

they had surveillance
posts along the coast

it was a period

when we had peace

The narcos were
all a happy family

the had a kind of consortium

and they divided
the Mexican territory

and the states of
Guerrero and Morelos

was owned by Arturo Beltran

the Beltrans were
the owners of the turf

Also El Chapo ran
the Cartel of Sinaloa

There was the Carrillo
family of Ciudad Juarez

There was the
Arellano family of Tijuana

and Osiel Cárdenas
of Tamaulipas

And they kept a relative peace

if someone crossed the line

they would kill him

that was it

MAN: The Sinaloa cartel

continues to work
in an orderly manner

but many people enjoy
killing without a reason

they get addicted to
killing as if it was a drug

I don’t

you can’t break the rules

if someone doesn’t
want to obey the rules

they will call me

and I know what I have to do

I will bring him alive
or dead to the boss

it's that simple

if it cannot take
him in good terms

I would take
him in bad terms

DYLAN: I am going swimming

Everyone is here

It’s cold

BOY: I've seen
videos of big snakes

they can eat
a whole person at once

SARA: We pretend this
an adventurous vacation

we organize games for them

and when they are sad

I tell them that the
place we are going is better

LUDY: Just because
we are migrants

it doesn't mean
we are criminals

or bad people

JUAN: Mexico has also
expelled its own people

especially from
the indigenous regions

this is one of the
countries where the gap

between the super
rich and the poor

has widened
more in recent years

LUIS: The indigenous
people in this country

have the highest levels
of marginalization

political oppression

and racial discrimination

These people

have been stripped

of their land and
natural resources

REPORTER: We’re
entering a new era
of economic development

NAFTA-the free trade
agreement comes into effect

MAN: On New Year's Eve
many Mexicans went to bed

hoping they would wake up
to a first world utopia

where they could buy
all kinds of products

MARCOS: We are asking
for an amendment to NAFTA

our petition has
infuriated the government

COLOSIO: Mexico's main demand

is democracy

LUDY: This is the
first time he is on a train

MAN: No big deal
just like riding a bus

REPORTER: The Army guards
the area where Felipe Calderón

will be sworn in
as the new president

MAN: Members of Congress

please go back to your seats

CROWD: Fraud!

Fraud!

JUAN: Felipe Calderón
came to power in 2006

and 14 days into the office

he launched the
so-called war on drugs

REPORTER: At least 40 hours

lasted the battle
between federal forces

and sicarios of
the Michoacan Cartel

REPORTER:
Alfredo Beltran Leyva

is accused of being
one of the leaders

of the
Beltran Leyva brothers cartel

The Public Secretary Office

informs of the capture
of Edgar Valdez Villareal

REPORTER 2:
Gerardo Alvarez Vázquez

REPORTER 3: Eduardo
Teodoro Garcia Simental

alias El Teo

REPORTER: The chief
of chiefs has fallen

in Cuernavaca's downtown

REPORTER: The
kingpin strategy

to eliminate the leaders

was a failure

When the government
attacked the cartels

a pact was broken

and this unleashed
the violence in Acapulco

WOMAN: In the 50s and 60s

Acapulco was very vibrant

WOMAN: many people
spent their honeymoon here

JFK and Jackie were here

Elizabeth Taylor married here

CARLOS:
Photojournalists in Acapulco

have a dangerous life

you’ve got to be in
the street all the time

and the streets in
Acapulco are very dangerous

RUBÉN: Every job in this
town is a risky business

ANTONIO: Arturo Beltran Leyva
was the most senior narco

El Chapo Guzman started
as Arturo’s bodyguard

Arturo taught all
the tricks to El Chapo

when the government
killed Arturo Beltran

new local groups emerged

and that’s what
provoked the chaos

MAN: It got worse with
Arturo Beltran's death

that's when it all fell apart

EL QUINCE: What’s gained
by cutting off the leaders?

All hell breaks loose

what are the
street gangs supposed to do?

they’ll have to
kidnap and extort

for their own survival

that’s just another war

RUBÉN: Acapulco
is a violent city

Acapulco is an ugly city

Acapulco is unsafe

but it's the coolest place

I grew up in this neighborhood

These are my brothers

the gang Acapulocos

these are my
neighborhood friends

MAN: We don't praise violence

we are just a product
of the environment

of what life is here

This is the
feathered serpent

the eagle
devouring the serpent

the coat of arms of Guerrero

the state where I was born

this is our culture

our ancestors
marked their bodies

the Aztecs and the Nahuas

we are like them

but in a different scenario

RUBÉN: We got a report
of a woman killed here

RICARDO: The changes
in Acapulco are significant

due to organized crime

these groups
own the turfs here

The municipal police work
in collusion with them

they are their street informants

they are the armed force
of the organized crime

there are cases in
which the municipal police

have disappeared people

MAN: For us the taxi drivers

killings have increased

and the main reason is extortion

I believe last year

127 taxi drivers were murdered

that's why now we
pay the extortion fee

some pay less some pay more

but we all pay

MAN 2: When the
drug business is scarce

the narcos look for
other ways to make money

and the easy way is extortion

this is an easy way to get money

so that they can survive

and hold on to their turf

MAN 2: I'm totally against
extortions or kidnappings

I have killed my own people

because they did that
and I won't allow it

MAN: We no longer
have foreign tourists

cruises arrive and
people don't get off

you don't see
Americans or Canadians

in the streets

LAURA: For example all these
were prosperous businesses

international brands
like Gucci

now are all closed

MAN: For me it would
be good to have tourism

I work selling drugs

it's like any other business

people benefit and I do too

that's why I
want to fix things

I want to do business
like Arturo Beltran

because he was a good leader

LAURA: Somehow we need
to find a middle ground

we want a pact for
peace with everyone

everyone needs to be
part of the solution

even our brothers
of the organized crime

CARLOS: Someone was shot

this just happened

but people continue
with their life as usual

they continue eating
like nothing happened

as if there was
not a dead body here

A human head was found

and the police
have arrived now

JOSÉ: A relationship exists

between crime and police forces

otherwise you
could not explain

the crime levels in the country

how crime levels are sustained

and the high rates of impunity

RAFA: The municipal police
mind their own business

they don’t mess with us
and we don’t bother them

if someone doesn’t
want to work with us

they just have
to leave us alone

but 80% of
municipal police works for us

The army can
give us some trouble

also the Marines and
some Federal Police

they can be problematic

but if I see a municipal
officer we just say hello

DYLAN: My mom's
great grandmother

made it to the United States

but she returned to Guatemala

because she wanted
to die in her homeland

when I get to be an old man

I want to return to my
homeland and die there

SARA: Did you find the papers?

I already checked there

I am upset

because we lost
my legal documents

and the kids’ documents

I will keep searching

but I think they are lost

people may question
if they are my children

they don't believe
that they are mine

without papers,
how can I prove it?

JOSÉ: We've been
together for 2 years

but I know her since
she was a little girl

we have shared hard times

we've been homeless

we've starved together

CHAROL: we've been cold

BOTH: hot

JOSÉ: we endured long walks

we faced people who
look at us with disdain

people who believe that
all migrants are the same

LUDY: Here in Mexico
there are narco-traffickers

prostitution rings and violence

yesterday we realized that

they were stealing children

they cover women’s
noses with something

it seems to be a drug
that makes you faint

I am afraid but
God knows my way

I am a bit concerned

MAN: Under the
bridge 10 km from here

they dumped a body
wrapped in bed sheets

he was tied up

the message is that
we can also be killed

SALVADOR: The state of Guerrero

is a region with a
high number of disappeared

people are desperate

they want to know where
their loved ones are

they want to find the corpses

to find some peace and comfort

when I see the federal police

or the state police
or the army

they scare me more
than narco-traffickers

MARIO: We search for
all the disappeared

who probably
are in a mass grave

My name is Mario Vergara

I am looking for
my brother Tomás

kidnapped on July 5, 2012

to this day he is still missing

Every day 13 people
disappear in our country

The government doesn't
search for our relatives

This is a skull

this boy has a
bullet in the head

and was tied up

according to the
position in which he fell

he was shot and fell forward

In the area of
Iguala we found

more than 3,000 fragments

or whole bones
scattered in the hills

MARIA: It would be a miracle

if my sons were found alive

how can one
live with such a pain?

HILDA: We had to face
the Mexican government

a government that
lies and represses us

MAN: It’s so regrettable

dead bodies were found

the authorities
have been exposed

for their lack
of responsibility

MARIO: Those who
should take care of us

are disappearing us

Ayotzinapa is a landmark
case in this country

Ayotzinapa proved
what we shout out loud

but they don’t want to hear

the Ayotzinapa students
were disappeared

by three institutions
of the government

municipal, state,
and federal government

MAN: They have
killed one of us

they killed him

call an ambulance

Why are you after us?

Goddamn dogs

ÁNGEL: It's not easy

to see your classmate die

watch them take
away your friends

and not be able to help them

HILDA: What we don't want

is to see this happening again

it’s the worst thing
that can happen to you

to have a son
disappeared is like dying

because you will
never have peace

CARLOS: The truth is that
authorities can’t stop violence

When your friends are murdered

when your relatives
are disappeared

when working
families are extorted

and nobody takes responsibility

people start to
organize themselves

We heard that
two armed groups

are fighting
for control of the town

ERNESTO: This is the ranch
of the criminal group DUMBOS

the DUMBOs started
in the business

of illegal sale of gasoline

that didn't bother anyone

but later they began
assaulting our citizens

MAN: Apparently the crocodile

was being fed
human flesh by the DUMBOS

but we haven’t
confirmed it yet

DANIEL: It all started when
the UPOEG came to our town

they wanted to
subject people by fear

they tried to
recruit them by force

they cannot tell me
to disarm my people

to put us in the
hands of Ernesto Gallardo

CARLOS: The
Federal Police are here

also the Marines and the Army

they have surrounded
the police station

where the UPOEG
community police is

ERNESTO: When we tried
to repel the DUMBOS

the Marines came after us

because we interfered
with DUMBOS’ interests

but the citizens took charge

and they stopped the government

WOMAN: We are
blocking the road

because they want to disarm
our community police UPOEG

they are the only organization

that we trust to keep us safe

WOMAN 2: We don't agree

we just want the Marines

we don't support either group

they don't think
about the people

CARLOS: What the government
is trying to do

is to regain control

and to disarm the
UPOEG community police

CROWD: We want the government,
government, government

MAN: We have two alternatives

either the UPOEG
keeps their guns

or the UPOEG is disarmed
and the army stays

the agreement we have reached

is the UPEOG keeps the guns

and army leaves

WOMAN: No, this
is not possible!

Who is going to be
responsible for our safety?

we don't know what
deal they made with UPOEG

so the police leaves the area

CARLOS: Let’s go

It’s a complex situation

people are upset

they would rather
defend themselves

than trust the
police or the Marines

RUBÉN: It’s
always the same story

the government doesn’t
deliver a solution

CARLOS: That's
community police area

The UPOEG community police

carry the same kind of
weapons as the Marines

where do they get them?

these weapons are
exclusive for the Army

Mexico is one of the
most corrupt countries

our authorities are colluded
with narc-traffickers

and the politicians
steal money

we live the consequences
in Acapulco on a daily bases

JOSÉ: The state is corrupt

and allows illegal actions

to share the profits from it

at the moment
there are 13 governors

accused of stealing

people’s money
from public funds

ANDRÉS: In my government
no one will benefit

from impunity

no group or person

regardless of their power

will be allowed to
do illegal business

under the protection
of the government

ANDRÉS: The country will have

an orderly and
peaceful transformation

we will end the
corruption and impunity

that prevent
Mexico's renaissance

ANDRÉS: I accept the challenge

Long live Mexico!

LUDY: We'll be right back

MAN: Get her some shoes!

LUDY: The camp bathrooms
are not clean anymore

too many people are using them

that’s why I don’t use them

Damn, we just realized

we won't be able to
withdraw money transfers

the bank accounts are blocked

what we are going
to do without money?

because here we
don't get enough food

MAN: Got spare change boss?

LUDY: Begging for money

MAN: The first step
is to blend the alcohol

adding benzyl cyanide and water

everything is cooked

in this pot

this machine
heats it all up

and when steam comes out

we turn it off

These hoses are
connected to barrels of water

the water minimizes the smoke

so the helicopters
don't see the smoke

MAN 2: what do
you call this product?

MAN: We call it
black or red oil

MAN: Oil and water

we add chlorine to the mix

and now it is
just a matter of stirring

MAN: This is it

we call it Galleta

MAN 2: While you produce
this are you aware of

the damage this
causes to the users?

MAN: Yes, we are aware

but life is hard

what we are supposed to
do to help our families?

LUDY: My boyfriend
turned himself in

to be deported back to Honduras

I am sad and want to cry

I told him just go away

I don't wanna see you anymore

he took his backpack
and I was left crying

I don't want to
continue without him

because with him I
feel safe and protected

but without him

I feel vulnerable

I feel incomplete
like something is missing

You are the most
handsome man on the world

I love you and you
are always on my mind

MAN: Let's go over there

LUDY: Should I try it?

I will be fine, right?
you're my friends

MAN: You decide for yourself

LUDY: OK, I will try it

MAN: This shit is like Satan

this is strong stuff

It could give
you a holy death

wait wait Ludy

first let it burn

if you smoke this
part it will mess you up

don't swallow it just smoke it

MAN: This is a
very dangerous life

Here you only got 2 options

prison or dead

the surveillance
plane is flying high

at this point
I cannot go back

CARMEN: The real fight
against organized crime

is in the financial circuits

JOSÉ: Wachovia bank received

deposits from
the Sinaloa cartel

in the amount
of $378 billion dollars

this amount is equivalent

to one-third of Mexico’s
Gross Domestic Product

CARMEN: Once
the Mexican state decides

to launch an investigation
on their finances

maybe then

we will be able to dismantle

the monstrous criminal activity

that is rooted
in Mexico for years

LUDY: I tried a
drug called crystal

a drug you smoke
in a light bulb

I didn't like it

it makes you feel
doubtful and confused

I don't wanna do it again

if I know that
something is bad

I can fix it

I can make my own decisions

and I can choose my own path

REPORTER: These
illegal caravans won't
be allowed in the U.S.

TRUMP: people
should turn back now

We have sent U.S. military
forces to the border

to do their job

LUDY: I turned myself
to the Mexican authorities

because I want to
go back to Honduras

It is harder to get food here

I am about 2 months pregnant

MAN: We double pack the drugs

and we use a special paper

to trick the security dogs

We are taking
it to Los Angeles

there each kilo is worth $25,000

and if we take it to New York

we get $45,000 per kilo

it’s easy to cross the border

because we bribe people

there’s a lot of
corruption in the United States

we take orders

for heroin

cocaine

and crystal meth

MAN 2: I didn't
want to do this job

I wanted to be a
doctor or a professional

but I need to eat
so I have to do this

LA MULA: This business
is like anything else

what we do is not right or wrong

it's just my business
and I do what I got to do

if someone wants
to consume drugs

it is their own decision

I move weapons to Mexico

and I cross drugs into the U.S.

I don’t get nervous

I am used to this job

and I am not afraid

OFFICER: Where to?

WOMAN: To Phoenix

OFFICER: What’s your business?

WOMAN: I live there

This is the perfect business

it doesn’t end

it will be eternal

JOSÉ: I am going
to enter the U.S.

look

I am in

I wish I was on
the other side already

but this fence
doesn't allow me

and those green
people would stop me

CHAROL: This is what
separates me from my dad

JOSÉ: I didn't
grow up with my father

I've never met him

and my mother
worked all the time

as a child nobody
looked after me

these kids don't
have a father either

my role is to be the
father figure in the family

I wouldn't want

to be separated from my family

In spite of everything
we are still together

in good times and bad times

and even in desperate times

Charol has
wished to go back

but I am always here for her

to give her strength
to keep moving forward

I remind her that
we do it for the children

SARA: We are a big family

we have better chances
crossing if we separate

we will reunite once we cross

Are you afraid?

BOY: Yes

SARA: It will be over soon

WOMAN: Dylan kiss me goodbye

It is time to cross

this is good place to cross

because there are
not many migration officers

MAN: Keep going straight ahead

Get down!

This path will take
them to San Diego

the border fence ends here

Do you see
the hill over there?

we’ve got to run over there

They’ve crossed

they are now in
the United States

MAN: All the
drugs we bring from
Mexico are pre-sold

some people think
that this is an easy job

but you are always at risk

if you hear the sirens

it could be the end of you

Everyone feels fear

but you tighten your
balls and go with it

Hello

are you ready?

I’ll meet you in 15 minutes
