  • Michoacan state is an epicenter of Mexico's violence. While cartels, vigilantes & authorities fight, the population's trapped in the middle. Al Jazeera spent a month on the ground in the state to investigate.

      Excellent point. Michoacan is my state I used to go visit every year growing up. It was so different back then, paradise. Never thought or knew it had become a living nightmare for the locals. With all the migrants coming over, I was under the impression that people were crossing simply to have a better future, aka, illegal crossings. That's what the news covers, but boy was I wrong. This tells a very different story indeed in which asylum should be warranted to all of these poor families who've abandoned their home to avoid cartel execution and make the journey north to simply survive. so heartbreaking

Imagine what we could have improved if we didn't stupidly and illegally invade Iraq and Afghanistan. Trillions of dollars could have gone towards improving our infrastructure and lifting up our own people but nope.

      @@jumpy2xstreaming The majority of the Brazilian population lives in urban areas, and this type of violence is an urban phenomenon. This is why you see countless people reporting crimes of this type online, but this does not reflect the country as a whole. The homicide rate in the north of the country is much higher than in the south, and the same happens in Mexico (both are huge countries), but in Brazil the north is poor and the south is more developed, whereas in Mexico it is the opposite, That's why the overall quality of life in Brazil is better.
      Violence in Brazil is based on small crimes and in urban areas, that is, you won't die, but it could be that some kid passes by you and pulls your backpack in large centers. In Mexico, it's terrorism, kidnapping, a market financed by the USA that won't change either, unlike Brazil, which has been reducing crime year after year. In 2017 the homicide rate was 29.2 in Brazil and in 2023 18.7. In Mexico, in 2017 it was 22.5 and in 2023 it was 23.5 (remembering that this number could even be higher due to the lack of transparency of the numbers on the part of the Mexican government, as kidnappings and underreporting are not taken into account).

If we want to truly help them, we need to fix the country itself, so that these people do not need to flee their homes and can look forward to nice life in Mexico very similar to any life they could have in USA.

    I'm from Culiacán, Sinaloa (also Mexico) and I really appreciate these guys took the time for this documentary. It takes too much courage to demonstrate the reality that exists in the states attacked by drug trafficking and political corruption that my country is experiencing. I totally hope that nothing happens to the interviewer for showing one of the strong realities that Mexico is experiencing, given that people who make this kind of thing known tend to "disappear" by the goverment. Take good care of yourselves and thank you very much for doing this.

      There’s lots of documentaries like this on the internet (about Mexico and the cartels). So it’s no secret what things are like there (from a government perspective). If you’re going to ‘disappear’, it’s going to happen whilst you’re actually in Mexico making the documentary. And then it’s usually because by kidnapping you, people can demand a ransom.
      This documentary was made a while ago so safe to say that nothing bad happened.
