@@madisondaniel4124 Where did you watch the video on? There's no proof of this happening, only hearsay and people claiming they saw the video on the dark web
There are enough comments saying how they didn't blur their faces or identities, so I wont recap BUT......i think its even worse that NYT STILL left this video up, for like 2 years now. Surely they have seen the comments, surely it wouldn't be hard for them to blank out the figures and pitch the voices deeper in this same video (just in case there is still a chance for their safety).

Removing it and censoring it is begging for people to reupload the original version somewhere else. Which would attract way more attention than the original one. Btw I keep seeing comments of people saying that some people in the video were caught or even killed for being in it (especially the teacher). After a bit of searching I was not able to find anything about it. The thing is that, the New York Times is not a small journal. There stuff get peer reviewed multiple times and I'm quite sure that if anyone in this video risked anything it would have not been put out or at least severely edited. Also after seeing other serious professional international media oulets relaying this video and not seeing anything wrong with it. I'm almost sure that this whole thing was basically invented by the RUclips Comment Section.

Daniel Gallagher In Britain, children are taught about the huge atrocities that came with colonialism. The English curriculum includes knowing why many of Shakespeare’s works can be seen as racist, in History loads of the secondary school topics went into colonialism and slavery and things like that. Imperialism is not celebrated
Kinda concerning to me how The New York Times did so little to protect this woman's identity. There is a very high chance she was brutally tortured to death after this was published.
the fact that they didn't deeper her voice is more concerning. I saw a video on a dark web Instgram account and the one who was killed look like the lady.
That's not fear, that's anger. Sheer anger. That tone in her voice is the same my mom would use when she was beyond frustrated with a situation she wished she could change but was incapable of doing so. I only wish the teacher is still around, Mexico needs people like her that are fed up and are willing to risk their lives and speak up- take control of their country. People here in America throw the term "hero" around like candy, however, this teacher's actions are what I would begin to classify as heroic.
@@RyuMai I think they meant why not deepen her voice on top of her wearing a mask, because even though she has a mask on and is covering her face, they can still identify her by her voice. Also, the mask don't cover the most important details of the face.
@i miss george harrison They dont wear masks in their day to day lives lol its only for the film it was the directors choice... it says it in the description.. meaning they dont need to be scared of people identifying them.. they run the cartels no one dares to touch the people there... if they dont wear the masks daily i guess they not scared to be identified
when she was talking about the boy who tried to stab the other i was like ‘oh he’s a troubled teen’ (thinking he was 16) but she said he was 5! R U KIDDING ME 5!
a child that age is two decades away from being mentally mature, wtf ! that proves what a terrible environment he was brought up in, and how bad of an influence he had in his life, i hope people like him are saved
@@drmosaddegh I think some people forget that this is real life. Not everything is pristine and perfect, by a long shot. I wouldn't be so quick to say that it's the worst environment for them. This is proof of why immigrants seek asylum. But even then, Would they be any safer here?
Seriously, if the purpose of these masks was to hide identities there are so much more effective way to do that...by showing eyes and mouths as well as not changing voices, you pretty much identify them. But I guess it was worth it because it allowed you to create a disturbing and intriguing image that has resulted in more views and that's what really matters, right?
bebe I don't know about that. I have no credible info about it one way or the other. What I would say is that, if you're going to show numerous students with masks as well as teachers with masks, these people probably had the Okay to do it from whoever could allow such a thing. If it was a completely secretive operation, they definitely wouldn't have asked the children to wear mask and be part of it. I mean......how did they recruit them? "Students, remember to bring a signed authorization to be masked in a movie before Thursday" ? lol The other option is they organized it on their own which I highly doubt. Did they just showed up and ask kids and teachers who wanted to be part of it? If so, there's no actual point in wearing masks......a bunch of kids obviously will tell their folks "hey X and Y person asked us if we wanted to be part of a movie and A B and C person said yes." Again the masks would be pointless. If I had to bet, considering all I've said, and considering how we can easily hide people's identity far more effectively....I'd say that people were aware this was going to be filmed, the masks were meant to catch our attention, to spread a feeling of fear and dehumanization......I could be wrong, and in a way, it's probably a good thing that we can't be sure of what happened to this brace young woman. It means that uninformed outsiders can't make violent decisions based on so little information....hopefully :S.
bebe ouch, that's both sad death of a courageous young women, but also it's weird and irresponsible from the production team. Would you happen to have a link to a credible article on the subject? It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that there seems to be so much B.S. stories or at least distorted stories online these days...especially with the upcoming U,S. election. Thanks for your help :).
This is a god-awful attempt to hide their identities. All of their features are literally shown. Their voices weren't changed and their features weren't blurred. It seems like they wanted a disturbing imagery instead of the safety of their participants. Nice job.
@@vincentraphaela1226 look in the bio of this Video, it literally says that they made them wear masks to hide their identity as well as for the "right aesthetics" They wrote as follows: ---- In both films, González explores the personal toll of organized crime and the drug war through searing interviews with people with direct experience either of violence or its social ramifications. In “Children of the Narco Zone,” the focus is specifically on how a climate of violence affects children and shapes their understanding of what’s right and wrong. As in “La Libertad del Diablo,” González dresses all his subjects in masks - partly to give them anonymity, and partly as an eerie aesthetic choice. But the result is a mosaic of deeply individual testimonies. ----
I saw a comment that unfortunately the lady got killed chopped up & burnt to death it's really sad 💔😔 The NY Times could of protected her more but they didn't. I keep seeing the comment section & people are saying that the video was posted on the dark web of her being killed 😭
@@MrLTLB i dount it with the population growing the youth will take over. Those kids are hungry for money and like this DOC says these kids look up to these narcos cause they have money. Imagine having no money as a kid and someone giving you money to buy clothes and food.
@@MrLTLB Actually under him, it hasn't gotten any better as it is actually more dangerous than the past 20 years. Ramos even had an interview where all AMLO did was point the finger to previous administrations and never gave an insightful plan
This is a documentary work of Everardo Gonzalez, a mexican filmmaker and documentary maker, he also made a documental called "La libertad del diablo" (the devil's freedom), is not a journalism work and is not meant to be one, I'm pretty sure people in this video is fine.
Don't ever do this again!! We don't need to see her face idiots ( are close ups really needed?) and distort her voice next time! Just reckless reporting 😤😤 You can get the story without exposing people.
HOW DO YOU KNOW? Yes, they did an appalling job hiding their identities but to have a statement like this without evidence is awful, you don't have proof then don't say it. If your about to comment something like this without evidence... DON'T SAY IT! It's that simple.
@@nyc2hot447 you don't need facts. That is how roles. She gave enough details of her personal interaction with students, also that specific students uniform it's not common in Mexico.

True they could have censored them but I think they just wanted to show the masks the people are forced to wear because of gang related stuff. Everyone there has masks and their face are not magically censored IRL so I don't think it really matter that much.
Just me who had never heard of the Narco Zone until I saw this? Edit: based off of the replies I suppose I am not the only one who had never heard of this, which we should of. They should’ve shown us things like these in school and I would 100% have a lesson about stuff like this rather then a lesson that teaches me how to know if something is a triangle. I doubt it can’t just be me who feels this way
angel brown yea but people that have listened to the language and know how to speak it know the certain tones of people when their terrified or insecure or not happy, or in the other hand when their happy, energetic, or exited.
Sophie B I’ve seen this exact comment written by so many people and I don’t get it. I don’t speak fluent Spanish, but it’s so obvious she’s terrified. Why wouldn’t I be able to hear it?
Tay Katoo Some people can’t really detect emotions in the voice of a Spanish speaking person (lol typed version instead of person). Although, this is one wasn’t that hard to detect to be honest.

@@strawby It also says "partly to give them anonymity" I think they completely failed at that part, I could easily tell who's who. And they are putting lots of people in danger by doing this.
Went to Mexico a year and a half ago for the first time. Guanajuato is such a beautiful place and I had the time of my life. My family there has been telling me how in the rancho I stayed in, you now have to be indoors by 10 pm or else who knows what gangs will do to you. This is something that never happened while I was there. It breaks my heart. This is the sad reality of what's happening in Mexico. Such a beautiful culture and country with amazing people, but with a bad rep
Unfortunately, a lot of states down south of Mexico are like that. In Sinaloa, I have not experience anything like being inside at a certain time. The cartel down south can be ruthless.
I was in Guanajuato a few weeks ago and yes this is true you have to be indoors by a certain time because it’s dangerous it didn’t used to be like that but it’s so sad how it’s like that now
I lived in Mexico for a time and I knew this family with a couple of great kids Years later I ran into the family in Texas and I could tell the son (now 16) was very different. Incredibly quiet, jumped at every sound, seemed downright scared. Come to find out when he was 11 he was at a friends house when the Narcos came through and murdered the friends family. He only survived because he was hiding but he saw everything. 3 people murdered right in front of him. He’s never been the same needless to say. He was in such a bad state that they brought him to Texas for mental health treatment. I feel so terrible for him, he should be a kid and having fun being a teenager but he can’t have any of that. It’s so sad. And I’m sure there are other kids out there like him, who have had to witness such atrocities.
Agreed. It really only touches the surface of how bad the problem is in Mexico with narcos. Pretty soon Ecuador might need a similar documentary-type film.
Well, yeah...but the "aesthetic" looks very BDSM. I know that's a shallow and inappropriate take on it, but idc because that's what it reminds me of. ACTUALLY, it's not that shallow when you consider how these people have to submit to their surroundings and the cartels.
@@ZAPPABABURUUU the aesthetic made me think of being the same (like homogeneous/blending in) and also a loss of identify but I guess people will interpret it differently
what does a show has anything to do with real life? wanna blame netflix for the narcos? besides in the shows, shows a lot the death, most people end up tortured, in jail, and killed
Netflix doesn’t glamorize it though they made sure to show the consequences of having that lifestyle with the real stories of druglords and what they ended up like after all that
Cherry Pie’* they do glamorize it actually! They show you that if you are a narco you gonna get easy money, women and power! And that’s the reason why almost each individual who watch these Netflix series wants to be a Narco... They even talk like them.
Rodolfo Hernandez that’s true! In some way it helps show the bad ways of that lifestyle but it also portrays easy money and women and I can’t disagree honestly
I never fault people for trying to enter the U.S. illegally - I have tremendous respect for their dilemma; the desperation, fear, suffering, war and loss that motivates brave people to risk their lives to reach another country; having to leave the only country they’ve ever known as “home”; losing family, friends, careers, all the things they’ve worked for and nurtured...they come to a new country, often so traumatized, and if they are lucky enough to survive and make it - they have to start their lives all over again. Whatever businesses they owned, degrees they held, language they speak - won’t mean much in a new country with its own unique standards and practices; different certifications and requirements; and just learning a new language; I just can’t imagine. It would be so hard. I couldn’t be a border agent. It would be too hard to enforce the law.
@@quintuplebanned4267 Yes, and then on top of all of that they have to endure extensive racism, xenophobia, and assumptions about who they are once they arrive in the US. From people who, by sheer dumb luck, were born on the wealthy side of the border and will never know what it is to risk one's life for a better opportunity. Who are WE to judge those seeking a better life? A mother risking it all for her children because the horrors at home gave her no other choice? These "build the wall" armchair critics make me sick.
I’d be terrified but I would try to come here legally but that’s the thing, I don’t know the process of coming to America so I don’t know if it’s hard or anything. I know that say you’re from Cuba it can take up to 20 years to be able to move to the US.
They literally could have spent less money on masquerade blank masks instead of making ominous balaclavas that were only designed for clickbait. This is sick and it diverts from the actual problem.
I don't know if you use Reddit but there's an entire sub dedicated to this exact idea. It's called r/boringdystopia, every post is like this video and it's honestly astonishing what's happening around us and under our noses
Kjleed13 Problems like this and much worse have been around for as long as society and humans have been around. The only difference is more people know about it because of the internet. Humans are the problem, so I don’t think this is some “dystopia”. It’s literally just our reality; you’ll find chaos and violence everywhere in our history.
Ah yes. After watching all those illegal broadway musical bootlegs I certainly would love to watch this doc on the narco zone! RUclips, you have outdone yourself once more.
This is propaganda. I live in mexico and it's mostly amazing. The Drug war is bad and is US sponsored. But no, kids do NOT around with masks like this on a normal basis in most of Latin America and certainly not in Mexico.
this is so scary. if those masks were to keep their identity anonymous I don't think it worked because it shows the most distinguishing features in a person's face. eyes, nose, and lips.
It does cuz you need the hair line eyebrows nd the shape of the face to recongnize them. You know theres 7 people in tge world that look exactly like you
The brain has trouble putting together what a face looks like when the features are disrupted and divorced from each other, like with a mask. Hopefully, the mask will be enough to keep the kids safe.
bruhhh, you can’t be comparing that 💀💀, just shut up, yes i wear masks, but they only had to wear these masks for a day for the documentary, calm down, they didn’t do a good job hiding their identities doe

I used to live in Culiacan aka where El Chapo is from. There are narcos left and right. I lived there during the big narco war around 2007. One time, me and my mom were home and my dad comes rushing in with a pale face. Turns out, when they were at a street crossing, two cars from the intersecting streets just park in the middle, shooting at each other and a dead body just dropped out of one of the cars. He said he only managed to close my brothers' eyes. There is also another story of a friend of my mom getting shot in the leg in one of those situations. Long story short, stops were dangerous.
Can your tell your neighbors thanks for the drugs. Parties in 2007 were greeeeeeeat!!! Sorry about those 11,000 kids. Tell the little truckers to keep their heads low next time. Daddies got some hip hop and powered to inhale
Masha Tupitsin in 2015 I l went to Mexico and one day I went out with this girl I liked we were hanging out in a cafe and she told me she wanted to leave so we left and as soon as we stepped outside she tells me Walk faster please keep walking and I'm like why what's wrong And she keeps saying just keep walking and grabs my hand and starts running for while and we stayed at a church nearby In my head I'm like WTF is going on I stopped her and asked her wait what's wrong and she begins to tell me that while we were at the cafe she seen these guys taking pictures of me and she had a feeling they were with the cartel I wanted to go back and see who were they but she kepted insisting for us to go back to our homes she then asked me Ain't you scared ain't you worried And I'm like why should I be worried I would fight to my last breathe if somehow they tried to kidnap me or hurt you

@@spongebobmiscellaneous ofc it's about luck. She had the luck to be born in another country. Others didn't. Easy. Luck is more important than what we think. Also getting out of poverty is not that easy as it seems.
After scouring the web, I've found no evidence, neither in English or Spanish, that this teacher was murdered. You can definitely criticize the doc's decision not to mask her voice, but I think the masks do a really good job at making them all look identical so as not to reveal their identity. I wouldn't be able to pick any of them out of a line-up. Making up this woman's murder or passing along information you haven't verified is horrible.
While it is true that the masks do a little bit of hiding they could've done better. if the narcos set themselves to killing this woman they would just have to investigate deep into the school and they would find her.
I'm pretty sure the teacher was aware of the possibility of being identified. Especially since she lives among narcos and knows what they can do, that's probably why she didn't say anything specific. Besides, you guys think we didn't know that's what happens in our country? Please, we are not naive. This is part of a documentary that encourages us to reflect about the actual people behind the news we read all the time, whether they are the victims or the perpetrators.
Katie Louise Jones for anonymity and the documentary maker has a habit of doing it for an eerie aesthetic reason; it gives the documentary an unsettling atmosphere which is what he wants
Alehya Alehya Oop Vice news? Now I know that video goes into real detail because Vice news typically doesn’t hold back, what they talk about is real and very vivid. I’ll have to check that out tho because I’m interested in this stuff and seeing how terrifying the world can be and that kind of makes you see the reality that it’s not all sunshine and rainbows and I say this with love, but we need to accept that. But we also need to do whatever we can to make this better or to fix it all together because this stuff isn’t going anywhere if people don’t learn about this part of the world....okay, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
It’s basically zones with high concentrations of narcos such as Sinaloa. And the video explains that the kids who live there grow up idealizing the narcos because they pay for everything and take care of the people living in those zones like a government. So the kids grow thinking they’re good guys and become like their dads/brothers
Bram Dingemanse fr, I live in Mexico City, you’ll be surprised on how many people support trump, libertards in the Us don’t understand how dangerous the people are, I’m agree with immigration but I don’t get what people don’t get about illegal immigration, it literally has “illegal” in that sentence
This is why so many Latin Americans flee to the USA. It’s not in search of a better life, it’s in search of a life! And to simply survive! And yes, they should do it the legal way, but no they can’t afford the lengthy/costly process. How do you expect someone who’s in poverty and in danger to wait years and years/spend endless amounts of money to migrate to ANY COUNTRY LEGALLY? Let alone the USA. We need to be more understanding as Americans, partially because we’ve contributed to this disaster. I’m not suggesting that we open up our borders, but we have to realize in complete essence why a lot of these people can’t migrate here legally and therefore improve our immigration laws and procedures as well as strengthening our borders and relationships with these Latin countries to help combat the problem. Not go on rants about how we need a stupid wall or how we need to start rounding people up. That isn’t a proper solution. It just adds to the problem. It’s so sad so many of us don’t understand that.
It’s not our problem. You can’t run from your problems. If they want change in their countries they need to band together and change it. The US can’t support everybody in those countries. Just because you don’t like your country doesn’t mean you get free easy entry into another.
@@meganr2559 Oh trust me, the people of Mexico are trying to change their country for the better, but it's extremely hard to do so when your government is infultrated by narcos and that they care more about lining their pockets than their actual constituents.There have been MANY cases where there are protests by the Mexican people to have their needs heard by the government and those protests end in violence inflicted by the government and hired narcos. In one of the most famous cases, 43 college students were abducted, tortured and killed for protesting against the Mexican government's discriminatory hiring practices for teachers. This wasn't even about a drug war, it was about unethical hiring practices and they were DISMEMBERED for it. The reason why the current state of Mexico is sooo bad has a lot to do with economical problems that were caused by the US historically and continued to be fueled by the US. So yes, it is our problem.
Awww I love your comment ! You’re so right every word is true, any one who argues with it is clearing having tunnel vision and are entitled to their own wrong opinion .

Growing up in Mexico, we didn't learn much in schools. Schools down there basically showed us how to not get kidnapped. Only went to school for 2 months in Juarez. During that time, 5 kids were kidnapped. After, my mom took us out of school while we waited the 2 years to become Citizens. I am so thankful that my dad came to the US, was basically homeless because he saved all his money to pay the $5,000 fee for each one of us to become Americans. $25,000 in the early 2000s wasnt easy to save.

Kinda concerning to me how The New York Times did so little to protect this woman's identity. There is a very high chance she was brutally tortured to death after this was published.
A comment said she was....😭😭😱😱
She got chopped up and burnt
Sowski where did you hear that?
ashton nobles On the Dark Web it said she was dismembered than burnt and got beheaded..😭😤
ashton nobles And the New York Times did so LITTLE to help.. they could have darkened her voice.. JUST A LITTLE.
the fact that you can hear the fear in her voice makes me so sad .
the fact that they didn't deeper her voice is more concerning. I saw a video on a dark web Instgram account and the one who was killed look like the lady.
That's not fear, that's anger. Sheer anger. That tone in her voice is the same my mom would use when she was beyond frustrated with a situation she wished she could change but was incapable of doing so. I only wish the teacher is still around, Mexico needs people like her that are fed up and are willing to risk their lives and speak up- take control of their country. People here in America throw the term "hero" around like candy, however, this teacher's actions are what I would begin to classify as heroic.

They'll recognize them by their features too, eyes, noses mouth, head shape. Most important identifiers of a person.
the masks are for the film they dont wear the masks in their day to day life.. read the description it says there the masks were the directors choice.
@@RyuMai I think they meant why not deepen her voice on top of her wearing a mask, because even though she has a mask on and is covering her face, they can still identify her by her voice. Also, the mask don't cover the most important details of the face.
They should’ve done a black screen and just done a voice over and made it deeper
@i miss george harrison They dont wear masks in their day to day lives lol its only for the film it was the directors choice... it says it in the description.. meaning they dont need to be scared of people identifying them.. they run the cartels no one dares to touch the people there... if they dont wear the masks daily i guess they not scared to be identified

troubled teens should not be stabbing people.
Seriously, if the purpose of these masks was to hide identities there are so much more effective way to do that...by showing eyes and mouths as well as not changing voices, you pretty much identify them. But I guess it was worth it because it allowed you to create a disturbing and intriguing image that has resulted in more views and that's what really matters, right?
I heard that the female died :(
bebe I don't know about that. I have no credible info about it one way or the other. What I would say is that, if you're going to show numerous students with masks as well as teachers with masks, these people probably had the Okay to do it from whoever could allow such a thing. If it was a completely secretive operation, they definitely wouldn't have asked the children to wear mask and be part of it. I mean......how did they recruit them? "Students, remember to bring a signed authorization to be masked in a movie before Thursday" ? lol The other option is they organized it on their own which I highly doubt. Did they just showed up and ask kids and teachers who wanted to be part of it? If so, there's no actual point in wearing masks......a bunch of kids obviously will tell their folks "hey X and Y person asked us if we wanted to be part of a movie and A B and C person said yes." Again the masks would be pointless. If I had to bet, considering all I've said, and considering how we can easily hide people's identity far more effectively....I'd say that people were aware this was going to be filmed, the masks were meant to catch our attention, to spread a feeling of fear and dehumanization......I could be wrong, and in a way, it's probably a good thing that we can't be sure of what happened to this brace young woman. It means that uninformed outsiders can't make violent decisions based on so little information....hopefully :S.
Lanwarder yeah it was actually confirmed by the website
bebe ouch, that's both sad death of a courageous young women, but also it's weird and irresponsible from the production team. Would you happen to have a link to a credible article on the subject? It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that there seems to be so much B.S. stories or at least distorted stories online these days...especially with the upcoming U,S. election. Thanks for your help :).

This is a god-awful attempt to hide their identities. All of their features are literally shown. Their voices weren't changed and their features weren't blurred. It seems like they wanted a disturbing imagery instead of the safety of their participants. Nice job.

@@vincentraphaela1226 look in the bio of this Video, it literally says that they made them wear masks to hide their identity as well as for the "right aesthetics"
They wrote as follows:
---- In both films, González explores the personal toll of organized crime and the drug war through searing interviews with people with direct experience either of violence or its social ramifications. In “Children of the Narco Zone,” the focus is specifically on how a climate of violence affects children and shapes their understanding of what’s right and wrong. As in “La Libertad del Diablo,” González dresses all his subjects in masks - partly to give them anonymity, and partly as an eerie aesthetic choice. But the result is a mosaic of deeply individual testimonies. ----

Went to Mexico a year and a half ago for the first time. Guanajuato is such a beautiful place and I had the time of my life. My family there has been telling me how in the rancho I stayed in, you now have to be indoors by 10 pm or else who knows what gangs will do to you. This is something that never happened while I was there. It breaks my heart. This is the sad reality of what's happening in Mexico. Such a beautiful culture and country with amazing people, but with a bad rep
Unfortunately, a lot of states down south of Mexico are like that. In Sinaloa, I have not experience anything like being inside at a certain time. The cartel down south can be ruthless.

I was in Guanajuato a few weeks ago and yes this is true you have to be indoors by a certain time because it’s dangerous it didn’t used to be like that but it’s so sad how it’s like that now

Dream chaser yeah it’s a cartel I know because my cousins friends with them
I lived in Mexico for a time and I knew this family with a couple of great kids Years later I ran into the family in Texas and I could tell the son (now 16) was very different. Incredibly quiet, jumped at every sound, seemed downright scared. Come to find out when he was 11 he was at a friends house when the Narcos came through and murdered the friends family. He only survived because he was hiding but he saw everything. 3 people murdered right in front of him. He’s never been the same needless to say. He was in such a bad state that they brought him to Texas for mental health treatment. I feel so terrible for him, he should be a kid and having fun being a teenager but he can’t have any of that. It’s so sad. And I’m sure there are other kids out there like him, who have had to witness such atrocities.

I never fault people for trying to enter the U.S. illegally - I have tremendous respect for their dilemma; the desperation, fear, suffering, war and loss that motivates brave people to risk their lives to reach another country; having to leave the only country they’ve ever known as “home”; losing family, friends, careers, all the things they’ve worked for and nurtured...they come to a new country, often so traumatized, and if they are lucky enough to survive and make it - they have to start their lives all over again. Whatever businesses they owned, degrees they held, language they speak - won’t mean much in a new country with its own unique standards and practices; different certifications and requirements; and just learning a new language; I just can’t imagine. It would be so hard. I couldn’t be a border agent. It would be too hard to enforce the law.
@@quintuplebanned4267 Yes, and then on top of all of that they have to endure extensive racism, xenophobia, and assumptions about who they are once they arrive in the US.

Who are WE to judge those seeking a better life? A mother risking it all for her children because the horrors at home gave her no other choice? These "build the wall" armchair critics make me sick.
I’d be terrified but I would try to come here legally but that’s the thing, I don’t know the process of coming to America so I don’t know if it’s hard or anything. I know that say you’re from Cuba it can take up to 20 years to be able to move to the US.

As a Mexican American I’m glad that I was born in America. This and more is why our parents come here illegally to get a better life😕if they could do it legally then they would but sadly they can’t
You’re not Mexican American if you were born in the us lol
@@marieremelie6716 But they're Mexican and they live in America.
Popcicatto that doesn’t mean theyre Mexican American. Their parents are, but they were born in America so they’re an American with a Mexican family
Not all Mexico is bad, and not all US is good. But okay

You have now.
I used to live in Culiacan aka where El Chapo is from. There are narcos left and right. I lived there during the big narco war around 2007. One time, me and my mom were home and my dad comes rushing in with a pale face. Turns out, when they were at a street crossing, two cars from the intersecting streets just park in the middle, shooting at each other and a dead body just dropped out of one of the cars. He said he only managed to close my brothers' eyes. There is also another story of a friend of my mom getting shot in the leg in one of those situations. Long story short, stops were dangerous.
I think 2007 was around the time El Chapos son was murdered by the Beltran Leyva cartel, that could be some of the conflict from the war.
Can your tell your neighbors thanks for the drugs. Parties in 2007 were greeeeeeeat!!! Sorry about those 11,000 kids. Tell the little truckers to keep their heads low next time. Daddies got some hip hop and powered to inhale

in 2015 I l went to Mexico
and one day I went out with this girl I liked
we were hanging out in a cafe
and she told me she wanted to leave
so we left and as soon as we stepped outside
she tells me
Walk faster please keep walking
and I'm like why what's wrong
And she keeps saying just keep walking
and grabs my hand and starts running for while and we stayed at a church nearby
In my head I'm like WTF is going on
I stopped her and asked her
wait what's wrong and she begins to tell me that while we were at the cafe she seen these guys taking pictures of me and she had a feeling they were with the cartel
I wanted to go back and see who were they
but she kepted insisting for us to go back
to our homes
she then asked me
Ain't you scared ain't you worried
And I'm like why should I be worried
I would fight to my last breathe if somehow they tried to kidnap me or hurt you
Jesse Saucedo not trying to be mean or anything but ehhh not a great story more like being romantic at the end by fighting against a cartel like bruhh... But I guess you can call yourself brave :)
Lmfao that story was great. You should make a movie bro

After scouring the web, I've found no evidence, neither in English or Spanish, that this teacher was murdered. You can definitely criticize the doc's decision not to mask her voice, but I think the masks do a really good job at making them all look identical so as not to reveal their identity. I wouldn't be able to pick any of them out of a line-up. Making up this woman's murder or passing along information you haven't verified is horrible.
While it is true that the masks do a little bit of hiding they could've done better. if the narcos set themselves to killing this woman they would just have to investigate deep into the school and they would find her.
We can hear her voice clearly for goodness sake. You think they did a good job of hiding her identity?
I'm pretty sure the teacher was aware of the possibility of being identified. Especially since she lives among narcos and knows what they can do, that's probably why she didn't say anything specific. Besides, you guys think we didn't know that's what happens in our country? Please, we are not naive. This is part of a documentary that encourages us to reflect about the actual people behind the news we read all the time, whether they are the victims or the perpetrators.
@@CatMomForever then where do u find that kind of info? lmao
Why do they wear masks? Is it to protect identity?
I would think so
Katie Louise Jones for anonymity and the documentary maker has a habit of doing it for an eerie aesthetic reason; it gives the documentary an unsettling atmosphere which is what he wants
No the masks are so no children can be killed in family feuds at school by parents or brothers because they can’t identify them
Yes
they're not wearing masks, it's their faces
In the description they said that they dressed the speakers in mask partly to hide their identities and partly for an ominous feel.

I’m still confused on what the Narco Zone even is
Alehya Alehya Oop Vice news? Now I know that video goes into real detail because Vice news typically doesn’t hold back, what they talk about is real and very vivid. I’ll have to check that out tho because I’m interested in this stuff and seeing how terrifying the world can be and that kind of makes you see the reality that it’s not all sunshine and rainbows and I say this with love, but we need to accept that. But we also need to do whatever we can to make this better or to fix it all together because this stuff isn’t going anywhere if people don’t learn about this part of the world....okay, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
It’s basically zones with high concentrations of narcos such as Sinaloa. And the video explains that the kids who live there grow up idealizing the narcos because they pay for everything and take care of the people living in those zones like a government. So the kids grow thinking they’re good guys and become like their dads/brothers
So.. A cartel family commune
And people still think it is weird that trump wants a wall.
Bram Dingemanse fr, I live in Mexico City, you’ll be surprised on how many people support trump, libertards in the Us don’t understand how dangerous the people are, I’m agree with immigration but I don’t get what people don’t get about illegal immigration, it literally has “illegal” in that sentence
This is why so many Latin Americans flee to the USA. It’s not in search of a better life, it’s in search of a life! And to simply survive! And yes, they should do it the legal way, but no they can’t afford the lengthy/costly process. How do you expect someone who’s in poverty and in danger to wait years and years/spend endless amounts of money to migrate to ANY COUNTRY LEGALLY? Let alone the USA. We need to be more understanding as Americans, partially because we’ve contributed to this disaster. I’m not suggesting that we open up our borders, but we have to realize in complete essence why a lot of these people can’t migrate here legally and therefore improve our immigration laws and procedures as well as strengthening our borders and relationships with these Latin countries to help combat the problem. Not go on rants about how we need a stupid wall or how we need to start rounding people up. That isn’t a proper solution. It just adds to the problem. It’s so sad so many of us don’t understand that.
It’s not our problem. You can’t run from your problems. If they want change in their countries they need to band together and change it. The US can’t support everybody in those countries. Just because you don’t like your country doesn’t mean you get free easy entry into another.
There are people who die and your saying it’s not our problem, we should be doing everything we can to help. We have the opportunity to save lives.
Megan R When the U.S has caused those problems directly then yeah it is our problem.
@@meganr2559 Oh trust me, the people of Mexico are trying to change their country for the better, but it's extremely hard to do so when your government is infultrated by narcos and that they care more about lining their pockets than their actual constituents.There have been MANY cases where there are protests by the Mexican people to have their needs heard by the government and those protests end in violence inflicted by the government and hired narcos.
In one of the most famous cases, 43 college students were abducted, tortured and killed for protesting against the Mexican government's discriminatory hiring practices for teachers. This wasn't even about a drug war, it was about unethical hiring practices and they were DISMEMBERED for it.
The reason why the current state of Mexico is sooo bad has a lot to do with economical problems that were caused by the US historically and continued to be fueled by the US. So yes, it is our problem.
Awww I love your comment ! You’re so right every word is true, any one who argues with it is clearing having tunnel vision and are entitled to their own wrong opinion .
For everyone that glorifies the life of Narcos this should be enough for everyone to understand how Seriously dangerous this is. Behind all the “money, women, wealth, and grand lifestyle” of the Drug cartels there is a million corpses left behind and families mourning
Why isn’t one commenting how the world governments allows this to keep going on. This is pure evil.

Well im from asia and i have no idea about narco zone untill today.
there is nothing we can do realy narcos are in the goverment so its basicaly a narco goverment the have the military at their disposal noone messes with them

Maybe you can start by telling us what tf is a narco zone
A narco zone is an area that's filled with neighborhoods of narcos and people who dedicate to narco
A Hot zone which either acts as a place where drugs are produced or trafficked to different parts of the world.
it is a zone that has been taken over and is controlled and corrupted by drug cartels and law enforcement is non-existant here.
Couldn't they leave?
@@alce97 um im not really sure but i think they are unable to because of fear and how everything is controlled by the criminals there so if they try to escape and get caught they wont be spared unfortunately

is not like that in most of mexico either!
quantities... always a discussion. But still, it seems like inhuman circumstances, horrible conditions... for kids.
+bedde bedde they are, but don't fool yourself, many of these kids live a very comfortable life, at least money wise, and they grow up to be very cruel people. Also, many of the narcos do keep their families away of their businesses and illegal deeds. These kids from this school probably belong to a small town more likely in the countryside where the narco prevails and hide.
People in "developed" countries who buy drugs are the root cause of all of this. Don't think you're so far removed from this situation...
bedde bedde it’s hard too see how the culture changed, this wasn’t México a couple of years ago I’m from the northern part of the country and I can tell you this is actually true the principal of my high school got killed cause she yelled at a narcos son

Growing up in Mexico, we didn't learn much in schools. Schools down there basically showed us how to not get kidnapped. Only went to school for 2 months in Juarez. During that time, 5 kids were kidnapped. After, my mom took us out of school while we waited the 2 years to become Citizens. I am so thankful that my dad came to the US, was basically homeless because he saved all his money to pay the $5,000 fee for each one of us to become Americans. $25,000 in the early 2000s wasnt easy to save. My family that is still have been kidnapped by cops for money, robbed for their vehicles, their bussiness extorted, and a few murdered because of their actions.
I'm glad I live in America. People here dont know how easy they have it.
