Uncovering crime and corruption - Anabel Hernández takes on Mexico's drug cartels | DW Documentary

- Опубликовано: 2 май 2022
- What does it mean to no longer be safe in your own country? In the documentary 'Guardians of Truth', exiled Turkish journalist Can Dündar meets a woman who has locked horns with Mexico’s most powerful entities: the government, and the drug cartels.
In Erdoğan’s Turkey, Can Dündar is public enemy number one. After he uncovered illegal Turkish arms shipments to Syria in 2015, the President said he was a terrorist, and personally called for a life sentence in prison for the journalist. Can Dündar fled to Germany following an attempt on his life during his trial. Since then, he has continued to defend his homeland against the autocrat’s lies, promoting freedom of speech from exile.
Dündar meets the journalist Anabel Hernández, who’s been investigating drug-related crime and corruption in Mexico for more than 20 years, publishing numerous books and articles on the subject. She is best-known for highlighting close links between the government and the drug clans -- ground-breaking research that almost cost her her life. Luckily, she wasn’t at home on the day 11 armed men showed up to shoot her dead. She knew then that she would have to leave her home country.
Not that she doesn’t return from time to time, under tight security, to continue her work and see her family. Can Dündar meets her in exile and then again, during one of these highly dangerous trips back home. He poses the pivotal question: what’s driving her to take this huge risk again and again?

DW the GOAT of documentaries. Netflix who? They cannot compete with this level of quality.
Netflix content (apart from squid game) went down hill pretty fast or gradually
German truth seekers god bless em! Their documentaries are the best imo.
Thank You! Truth makes a Comeback.
Most of Fox News Viewers do not know this other stations like DW exist
My dream heroes...

As a mexican teenager I admire so much this kind of people. They don't fight for money, they fight for truth. They fight for me, for every child, sister, father and mother.
I look forward that someday this country will reach the potential I know it has.
And as we say here "quiero aportar mi granito de arena" For this to happen.
Gabriel, good luck to you! It sounds like maybe you will also find a way to join that fight.
Aré you Shure?
@NYTXK9 ooh pobre baboso it's the governments both US and Mex that have done this to it's people. Yes cartels are evil but there would be No cartels without the CIA, DEA, Homeland Security and the Mexican Government
Siempre alza la voz, nunca te calles
De qué parte eres? Yo estoy en Baja California, y tú?
What a strong and courageous woman she represents what's best of Mexico it's conscious and moral compas !!!!!
And, in my opinion is a hero
Being an investigative journalist is the most difficult job I have ever seen. As a journalist, I feel the boldness in them and it's only God that protects them. May justice prevail on the fallen souls🙏
Receive love from Kenya🇰🇪.

I bow before these brave people, so much courage and integrity. It's scary to think about these things from the comfort of your own home, let alone do what they do to make this world a better place for all of us. I really hope that both of them and so many other journalists like them will be able to return home one day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏
Great story. This woman is amazingly brave and dedicated to her values. I admire her and her colleague from Turkey. Thank you DW team for your job, you make outstanding documentaries.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. We appreciate it.
As a fervent reader of Anabel's books , i hope she gets to read these comments !
@@Cattiva... I was thinking the same thing. God Bless her.
@@CattivaHaz leído su libro, 'Emma y las señoras del Narco?' Está buenísimo y lo recomiendo.
Her passion deserves everyones respect. God bless those that seek the truth.
Those who seek the truth know that god does not exist.
@@mitzyserrato1669 time and place, dude, time and place.
Is it more important than being a mother? Struck a chord with me. She is fighting for her son and and every Mexican child’s future.
This is the biggest sacrifice a mother can make.
She is truly a hero!
No one can understand a mothers pain or sacrifice like another mother. We carry the child for 9 months & feel each others heart beats even before we see each other face to face. I respect mothers who risk it all for the sake of their children. That is an actual hero, ones that storybooks should be written about.. Batman...Spiderman... these fictional characters could never compete with the real live ones.
@@deena2250 Anabel Veritas. Mujer Universal.
I thought the same thing, when he asked her that question. Journalist and civil rights ppl have, are, and will always be fighting for a better future for their country and children.
Ppl like her are braver than most of us that are watching or have watched this video
Amazing! God bless her 🙏
Same here.... shed a tear 😿
A lost a cousin 10 years ago, he just dissappear. Even now, we know nothing about what happened to him. We learn to live with his absence, and for the good of the rest of the family we just don't ask any more, otherwise will be impossible to live. Thank God for journalists like Anabel Hernandez
Praying for your family ❤️
Thank you for this documentary. Great to know journalism of those who try to do their JOBS even under dangerous conditions. The voices of truth are with you. Be safe. ❤️🌎 Thank you courageous spirits.
Excellent documenrary.
Courageous people need to be revered.
Amazing documentary DW 👏🏽..Stay safe, Anabel. Mexico te quiere y te necesita ❤️
Great job following these two journalists, showing their bravery and devotion to investigate. Outstanding professionalism!
Investigative journalists do divine work. Blessings to them....
Absolutly
Anabel es una Mujer Valiente que tiene toda mi aldiracion . No es facil tener el caracter que ella tiene siendo Mexicana.
'Anabel is a Brave Woman who has all my praise. Being Mexican, it is not easy to have the character that she has.'
- rough translation
"I need to clean the house first, I don't want to come back to a dirty house". I have so much respect for her.
This is the bravest woman I came to know about... Amazing story!
As I Mexican, I cried with some scenes. Mexico is so beautiful and yet full of horrors that we don't want to see. But Mexico is not the only one to blame 😢
How you mean not the only one to blame lol?
@@budgetking2591 American right? 🙃
@@budgetking2591 Many people around the world consume the mexican drug. Americans are probably the biggest consumers. If there is a demand, there will be an offer.
So, this is not only a Mexican business, but a global business. And if we consider than Mexico politicians are the whore of the USA, we could see that this never gonna end up. It will became even worst, eventually.
But yes, the “world cop” (America) has a lot on this.
@@budgetking2591 USA politicians and now almost half of the population 🇺🇸 loves drugs and do little to stop traffic guns. The money is invested in the USA and the guns are the power of drug cartels and they come from USA and some from Germany
@@BetzaidaCarrillo mexico has been a mess since it was founded... They have to much institutional corruption.
There is a very high level integrity required to be an investigative journalist. A great profile of two incredible journalists, as well the tragic and complicated situation in the great country of Mexico.
Thanks for providing this content DW
DW best channel ever ! Thank you for the high quality of your documentaries. Please put French subtitles to enlighten the French audience.

This woman loves her country and it's desperate to see a change. God bless her.

@@jasonbrownjournoPERFECTO.
Iam speech less. How much nerves and courage one required to do what these two brave humans are doing. They are our worlds real heroes. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️
Thank you Anabel! México 🇲🇽 admires you and is going to be always thankful to you and the few truth-seekers that fight for transparency and justice ☀️🙌 but you deserve to be happy ! Don’t forget it
What an amazing and brave woman!!! I really hope that her dream of living free in Mexico comes true some day!!!
My thoughts to both of you n others:
Journalism is not a crime...in fact the world is able to move fwd. Because of investigative journalist like you guys...you people are jewels and should be protected in all possible way...in fact you should be given a free hand to carry out your assignment ...unfortunately it's otherwise...otherwise julian Assange would be outside and some kind of a star...these politicians,bureaucrats,cartel Bose's,mafias are cowards n hide behind guns...u guys are real heros...we salute you from other corner of this earth 🌎...stay safe n stay fit...this world needs you😀
Thank you to all the real journalists for being the real truth bearers.
Another excellent doc. I hope and pray that Jan is one day able to see his mom in his own country.
Thank you for the documentary, It just seems for the past decade or so, Whoever gives a journalistic unbiased perspective and point of views on their reports, Either become a target, politically, socially or economically in every aspect and get labeled as bad and so on and so forth, It’s like the truth never actually shows nowadays.
Well said.
A sad truth you just stated I agree
Anabel hernandez is one of the real journalists that telling us the true here in mexio! most people dont belive her or want to deal with her!
the people of mexico is tired of the narco governments! WE BELIVE ANABEL!
Superb, tragic, inspiring. A beautiful film. Prayers for these brave people who love the truth so much, and for those who need their truths to be told.
"Sometimes, yes" .. two of the most profound words in journalism for decades.
In tears for her.
I lived in Southern Mexico for almost a year in 1982 when I was nineteen years old. I went down there with a couple of older friends of mine who were a couple who knew a Mexican national who invited them down there to build themselves a small casa on this friend's property on the Pacific coast, about 250 miles south of Mazatlan.
While we were living and working down there, building this small, one-room dwelling, the very first night that we had arrived, a neighbor of our friend with the property was celebrating a wedding. The young man who had just gotten married that very same day was a local police officer. They were having a wedding reception at his wife's family's home. Everyone was drinking, the music was loud, there was laughter and the smell of delicious food wafting through the air ... then, apparently, as part of their celebration, fellow police officers of this newly married colleague started firing their pistols into the air.
My friends and I immediately ran into our Mexican friend's house, because he had a two-story structure, so we felt that we would be a bit more safe when the bullets started coming back down again. Then, a minute later, the screaming started. Wailing, and screaming, and crying. Soon, we found out that the newly married groom had been hit in the top of his head with a bullet which killed him instantly. Yes, THIS is Mexico.
I know that around the world, less educated people, often people who have no common sense, fire their weapons into the air with no concern for theirs, or anyone else's life. I have friends who are from Mexico who KNOW that this is an idiotic thing to do and they too have run for their lives into buildings to get away from fellow Mexicans who ignorantly fire their weapons into the air, usually in celebration of something or another. Fireworks went off all the time when I was living in Mexico. Fine, no problem, but shooting bullets into the air? Really?
Also, while living in Mexico, I discovered that the police, the military, and government officials, in general, are pretty much as corrupt as can be. Bribery is massively common there. It's expected, or, you won't get very far both as a Mexican national or as a foreign visitor, or as an ex-pat living there.
I have avoided visiting Mexico (one of my favorite countries I've ever had the pleasure to visit and to live in) ever since I lived there. 1982 was the last time I ever visited Mexico. There's just no good reason whatsoever to go there, even though, I absolutely LOVE the people and culture of Mexico.
Its the fact more me that they have to dig the random soil to try and find their family its heartbreaking
.. and sniffing the pole was when I went 'sweet Jesus'
Many people knows what's happening in their place! Some ignored, some don't care and some are afraid to speak up or fight.
Awsome DW and all my respect for Anabel Hernández.
Thank you courageous spirits... Just thank you....be safe. Cheers to truth...
At the beginning I thought he was Roger Waters.
Such a great documentary, by the way. People must watch more of this
We are already living in hell lots Evil people in this earth 😥
True! The best decision I did in my life is not have children! I was right! I call this planet hell not earth anymore.
on this earth, not in.
"Evil happens when good Men do nothing." It is up to each of us to step up to the plate and fight evil wherever it exists. It is why we are put on this earth. If we don't fight evil when we see it, we have no right to complain.
I admire Anabel Hdz. May God keep protecting her 🙏. Keep exposing bad govt and destroy cartels
I was waiting for this doc. Great Job DW. love to watch you from Montreal, Canada.
Annabel is telling the truth about most states in Mexico, it's tough for everyone there since this" war on drugs" from the Regan Administration to the "war on drugs" of Calderón Administration. War on drugs is a waste of money and a war lost from the beginning.
FYI, countries like China, India and Afghanistan help ship chemicals for drug chemist make synthetics. This war on drugs is not just a Mexican, this is a worldwide problem that many people from different corners of the world, have made money.
This ^ so much this
Anabel an amazing Mexican journalist , fighting against Mexican government and the drug cartel, to find the truth and risking her life everyday my respects to Anabel deserves a Pulitzer Prize
She was bought off by the US to desinform.
Only Dw Documentary can show us Mexico´s drug traffic in this angle. My Congratulation goes to Dw´s equip. Excellent Job!!!
Speechless. This lady has more balls than a few army’s together. Much respect Anabelle
Corruption is not only in Mexico or in Turkey but it is everywhere, even in developed countries. However it's a very interesting documentary...I appreciate it, many thanks
* especially in developed countries. Corrupt profit from developing countries mostly ends up in western countries.
Mexico needs more ppl like Anabel.
In Mexico you're killed just because caring about the truth or the environment, it's so f disgusting and unfair, Anabel is so brave, we.must.protect her!
Really Don't trust the many mushrooming Opportunistic ngo/s and the MANY media houses owned and dictate by the Organised CORRUPT, NEPOTISM, their MURDEROUS MASTERS either.. They are everywhere.... Right from your driver, your dishwasher, your newspaper boy to your maid servant and baby sitter. BEWARE MY FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!

Not to forget your powerful(politico-coal bg) nosy cheating ex-gf neighbor and her Opportunistic army of flying monkeys and narcs.
I salute the Mexicans for rallying to get justice for the teenagers.
Her dad was kidnapped and murdered in the worst ways. They had such a bond, and she’ll never stop seeking the truth. It pains me that her and many are not protected by the president. That tells me that corruption still rooted deeply.
I am proudly Mexican but I ashamed of its corrupt and inefficient politicians........
They're really Brave people,God bless them🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
She is one of the best journalist in the world
I've ❤ this woman for what she has always stood for. Always say a prayer for her well being. Good against evil. I WISH people that do drugs would think about the Souls that are being destroyed, killed, tortured... Horrific. God Bless her and all of those journalist uncovering truths with deadly consequences. 🙏
The song, " The sound of silence" is a wonderful song for trauma and the cost of not being heard. Music group Disturbed does a good rendition.
Love to be with you
Can I know more about you
Let's celebrate true journalists and their works
Heart touching, thanks DW Docu,, wishing your success
The only way the garbage can be taken out is when everyone will do it!
TRULY ADMIRABLE AND STRONG HUMANS!!... thanks to them the TRUTH prevails 🙏🏻
Thanks so much for posting.
Anabel H. Gracias por querer a Mexico! Eres muy muy valiente! Gracias por desenmascarar a los culpables de Ayotzinapa! Pobres de los padres! Gracias por hacer esto! Dios de te bendiga!
'Anabel H. Thank you for loving Mexico! You are very very brave! Thank you for unmasking the culprits of Ayotzinapa! Poor parents! Thank you for doing this! God bless you!'
Words are more powerful then weapons can ever be and that is why it is so dangerous but important to speak and write the truth because in the end the truth spoken out loud will always win above all.
As a hispanic and as a mother, I really admire this woman and all the risks she's taking; not only for her family but for her country as well. God bless her and help her accomplish her goals. ♥
Her eyes when she was asked about motherhood made me cry.
I do respect the journalism work and theirs sacrifices. I wish them safety and well.
Solidarity is very powerful. 🙏
Incredible realities.

Wow great report. It's people like these that help everyone truly know what's going an and risk their lives.they need protection for telling the truth.
Great work. Brave work. Great production.
A very moving documentary... World Press Freedom Day was celebrated on 3 May. Journalists do an important job of keeping in check those in power who prefer to be unaccountable.
Wow.. loved it!!
May they continue to be even more greatly protected, safeguarded, and blessed for exposing and speaking truths.
Anabel is absolutely fantastic
She is so animated and passionate. I love it.
"Guardians of Truth" - indeed.
🕊Fantastic Documentary… The only way we can be Free ,is to Expose the injustice they’re doing to the whole world.
🕊Any one who has the knowledge need to find the courage to expose them.
She sacrifices her life put herself on the front line confronts not only criminals but also authorities just to get justice for all those victims . Thanks for this amazing documentary which makes me staggered 🌷
