- World's Most Feared Gang | Guatemala: Meet the Maras
Inside the Real Narcos - Complete Series: • Meet the Drug Lords: I...
Guatemala is one of the most violent countries in the world. 95% of murders remain unsolved, and the ultra-violent Maras manage drug trafficking, prostitution, and racketeering in the country and spread terror among the population. After several weeks of negotiation, we gained access to some of these gangs.
In the favela of Villanueva, Pedro is at the head of Barrio 18. That he has reached the age of 32 is practically a miracle. It’s rare for gang members to live past 25. The police who try and control his gang are woefully under-equipped. Sometimes, they even have to buy their own ammunition.
Faced with these disturbing levels of violence and an impotent police force, many citizens are choosing to arm themselves. Gun sales have increased by 20% in just one year. Others prefer to join local militants and combat the gangs directly.

This country would do with if they brought in Bukele to run it
my dad is from Guatemala, came to the United states in the early 70s because he wanted a better life. sad to see where my dads from so corrupt, hes told me alot of storys about it.
Thanks for this content 🫡
You're on the right track with your videos, the themes appealing to younger people. I get it. Maybe you are wondering why low views. Well besides the obvious of lack of attention of the gen z so they do ten seconds videos, I'm having an many channels not currently hot viral are having, is we simply pumping out too much.. people can't handle us and our higher vibration because they're spiritless. Without the light body self spirited.
Because a lot of us are getting discouraged.
This world is an oppression matrix.. it's only trying to steal our light and definitely not empower us.
Make more shorts and you can even connect them to the full video like say tyler Oliveira channel he does that well.
I just made a lot more shorts and some of them viralize more than any long videos ever do
there hiding there activity's but making a whole video the cops can watch.. yeah ok.. NEXT
The fact they think it's okay to extort they community is such cowards in my eyes
Yes! Vultures preying on hard working people just trying to provide fir their families. I wish the citizens would hand together and rid their society of these criminals. They aren't "conducting business", they are serial killers. Imagine how great tourism would be if it were safe. I can't imagine what the officers face.😢 I will be praying for the good people of Guatemala.❤🙏
I assumed the guy owed him money for Charlie , its protection , mafia style .Just out of order
It's what it's, that's wild west unless you have money to hire pmc backing you up better be safe than sorry
it takes nothing to hurt someone. It's not admirable
Literally the reason people are migrating
Watching from Canada but I was born in Guatemala. I’ve been back many times since I was a kid and I love it. If you stay away from the Capital where the gangs are concentrated you’ll see how relatively safe and beautiful the country is. I’m going back in September and I can’t wait.
This documentary is focused on gangs (maras) from Guatemala and it sounds like Guatemala is very dangerous and unsafe, like you mentioned; it is relatively safe. I go there 3 to 4 times a year and I don't go to places where I know I may come across gangs. I do the same here in LA as well!
@@carlos122exactly I visited it twice a year in the city, saying it is the most dangerous country it’s exaggerated.
Ok bye
I hope what you guys were saying is true, but I still won’t risk my life going there for holiday ,
@@crazyhorse3344 It’s okay that’s your loss. There are dangerous areas even in the United States or Canada. If you keep living in a bubble you’ll never discover the beauty of this planet.
A simple rule of thumb is that if you see a country surrendering to gangs, it must have something to do with the politicians in that country or another country that benefits in some way.
Individuals, even if they carry a powerful weapon, cannot overcome a highly trained group of police and army, powerful and sophisticated weapons do not make a powerful fighter.
So politicians make it easier by reducing support for the army and police and making them weak logistically and even in terms of training, sometimes under the pretext of lack of resources.
In those countries, don't be surprised if a family can't find a handful of rice for dinner while a politician's teenage son drives a Lamborghini
Thank you for your comment. You made me think, and I learned from what you wrote and now I understand the world better. Thank you❤️
Here here, all developing countries could becom wealthy if it wasn't for corruption and the lack of common law. But hey they will blame the West all the same
never underestimate guerilla tactics
This is amazing evidence for the courts.
Tell me about it. My first thought.
there hiding there activity's but making a whole video the cops can watch.. yeah ok.. NEXT
@@Facts-Over-FeelingsThey won't even bother to watch it. They're probably being extorted, too.
It is all staged for the cameras by the film company
😮😢 evidence... Really... So some viewers think they(gangs members) are free because there is not evidence.? Really.?

I travelled over 70 countries including Guatemala 🇬🇹 and truly loved the country . I did not face any problem. Wish them good future from Buffalo New York ❤❤❤❤
I hope that they get tough with these low thieves like San Salvador. The people live in fear. Makes me sick.
Guatemala no tiene a un Bukele.
He's only 32 y/o ?? Dude looks 50
street stress, looking over the shoulder every minute of your waking hours
See his eyes, they are dead. Smiles but dead eyes
Reality hits you hard there... unfortunately
Sadly, the average IQ of Guatamalans is 47. It makes me sad.
"95% of homicides are never cleared up."
That speaks silent volumes.
Especially when he puts his face on a documentary and brags about killing people and fears no repercussions.
Part of it is not true, Guatemala isn’t a violent country at all, these guy can’t generate more content with El Salvador so they resort to making content about Guatemala
Even being a poor country is a very high # of unsolved crimes which tells us a lot about politics and corruption but we never hear of incarceration of innocent citizens.
Been there twice and spent a month each time traveling all over the country. First time was in 2007 - the second time was in 2023. The people are great and the country is truly beautiful.
Sure.
True thing. The violence is really concentrated in selected parts of the country, while the others are fairly safe to travel
there hiding there activity's but making a whole video the cops can watch.. yeah ok.. NEXT
Very true. Guatemala's a wonderful country with amazing people. I once forgot my $500 tablet at the market in Quetzaltenango after buying some produce. 20 minutes later I realized it when I wanted to take a photo....I ran back and was flagged down by a young man calling out, "Señor señor! Su tablet!" His older female boss had kept it safe behind their stand.
@@dgaydos You were lucky. I had my credit card stolen when I stayed in a hostel in Antigua. Someone must have gone inside my backpack while I went to shower. They spent 75 bucks and I was without a credit card for the rest of my trip. Still a beautiful country so I took my wife there - 17 years after my initial visit. Xela is super run down but Flores has become neat and tidy.
The country and most of her people are great, but any presence of violence and corruption will ruin any place 😢
Will ruin any place and thing and any person 😢
“Her”?
@@nertyboi8158 some cultures refer to a country as "she".
It's happening to America right now corruption
@@pawshands9706yes the same as mother nature, mother earth, Motherland

One of my best friends in London is Guyanese. Her family left Guyana when she was young. They are so warm and friendly and they cook such lovely food.
@@skitzykitten6659 Nice
Pedro couldn't chase down a donut if he tried
Neither can Christian. Oh well, good on him for helping to remove gang tattoos after he decided joining a gang and getting paralyzed was a bad idea
I'm a 33 year veteran teacher and 40 year missionary to many countries. I have been traveling to Guatemala to spread the Gospel and hand out 100's of chromebook laptop computers to schools and children in churches and poor neighborhoods especially in San Reymundo and Jalapa Guatemala. The people are amazing and humble. I love their food and culture. I will be returning for the 4th time this summer. I pray that these areas get cleaned up like El Salvador. God Bless them.
Guatemala has been Christianized for over 500 years. A lot of good that does. What they need, is to lose superstition, gain education and critical thinking skills, while removing corruption, and develop an economy.
@@evangelicalsnever-lie9792 Have you been to Guatemala?
@@orlandohernandez0908I go to Guatemala twice a year, saying Guatemala is the most dangerous country I think it’s a little exaggerated.
@@evangelicalsnever-lie9792there are a lot of rich people and atheists, most of are middle class and upper class, some are richer than you, Guatemala isn’t a poor country it’s simply corrupt, it’s economy is still better than El Salvador, the violence isn’t bad compared to El salvador before Bukele
God bless you brother in Christ for helping the poor and especially for teaching the gospel ..May God bless you and keep you always
Jesuschrist is coming soon! 🙏💙💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏🙏
Guatemala needs President Bukele of El Salvador to set things right.
You ever notice how every gang is the most feared, I wonder who’s the least feared. Another thing, if these gangs are so strong and feared why do they always live in the worst neighborhoods
money
That's their birth place & deadly playground.⁶ìy
They live among the regular people, like regular people, in their own territory that they control. And yes, whichever territory you are in, they are the most feared. If they didn't live there then the other gang would move in and take over. These guys will kill you or kidnap your kid for not paying "protection" money. All while the other gang, in the case of this documentary, Ms13, is doing what they can to kill every member they find and attempt to take over the racket in the neighborhood.
As for your comment, arenyou suggesting otherwise? Like it's not true?
Because they couldn't get away with their behavior within a wealthy community.
@anonymousprivet1227 NO, it's because those in the wealthy neighborhoods get in to corruption at the government level and don't need to join the local gangs to survive. There just as much crooks, maybe worse.
Ridiculous what people do to their own people
Free documentary thankyou❤
I have admiration for the patrollers. They're real men.
Quite a lot of them are corrupt.

Don't understand wearing a balaclava to hide your identity but then being on a documentary to show the world your face, do the gangs not have tvs?😮
The docu is released years after its dilmed
Watching from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
With appreciation to free documentary
Good lessons learned from our safety. 🎉😊
I searched for something to watch on RUclips, and the Guatemala story came up. The story of one of the gang members appears strong, that is, uncertain future for the younger generation of the South American nation.
It's on Central America.
@juliochamo5396 Thanks for the correction.
I met my wife in Antigua, Guatemala and lived there for a few months while I lived with a local family and took Spanish class there. This was in 2001, and things were REALLY sketchy there at that time too. I hope it gets better there for the peoples sake. They have never known a country of peace.
Antigua was never sketchy lol, go to Philly, queens, Newark, jersey city, Baltimore or Detroit, go in the hoods and I’ll bet you’ll come out in a coffin.
@@myworld4257Well, my man, I was speaking more in terms of Guatemala as a WHOLE rather than just Antigua, but ok. But while Antigua has always more or less been a hub for tourism over the years and protected as such, it still has problems that are endemic with the rest of the country, just maybe not on the same scale. Oh, and I would never visit those s***hole cities you mentioned because I don't go to places where people do not value life nor know the difference between right and wrong. But thanks for your input.
There are good ppl here in Baltimore too that care about human life and know the difference between right and wrong. So I would appreciate it if you didn't call my city a sh**hole. Thanks
@@brabbit7703 The problem is the good people in these cities just don't matter anymore, because the bad ones control everything. If you mattered, you would do something about it. So, while you bleed tears about people saying bad words about your cities, other people are actually BLEEDING. So spare me your sanctimony, bro. No time for that.
Salute to the guy christian and his family to a" human kindness to show them that you can live and make friends without a gangs" nice to hear god bless your family from 🇵🇭 philippines even if we live in a different ways but we are all human killing is an evil doing
Why so much evil in the human kind why nobody want to look for GOD why can we get alone there is enought around for every human in this planet we need to stand together and help each others out make a Better choise for the future of the family and others
I agree 💯 wish everyone would come together.
Absolutely no regard for life in the least! Repulsive! 😢
The Police officers seem like good people. Risking their lives for their communities. The same for the guys protecting their communities. If I had money I would buy these police and guys bullet proof vets and helmets.
Maybe the doco makers could set up some way for people to donate to them so they can buy them. Then film it so we can see they got the vests and how happy they are.
gracias por mostrar el mundo.
It is heartbreaking to see this beautiful country go through this. Salvadorans know well what El Salvador was like before (worse than this) and how safe it is now. We all hope Guatemala and Honduras get this problem fixed soon.
Only because most of the “problems” have moved to the US…let’s not pretend

It's so sad that violence and corrupton is destroying such a beautiful country. Sadly I don't think anything will change because the government are just as corrupt.
There isn’t much violence believe or not, it’s a really good country but the leaders are definitely crooked but still Aguayo is the greatest and biggest economy in Central America
Guatemala needs a Namibia Bukele as well as Mexico, Haiti and many other countries.
Guatemala necesita un Namibian Bukele, igual Mexico, Haiti y muchos otros países.
Viva Emperador Bukele!!!!
You don't even realize all that NB has done. Systematically removed any opposition in government, nobody can stand up to him, fist step of becoming a dictator. Second hes eliminated his greatest opposition, the gangs. Third, quite a few innocent people are being locked up with no hope of release. Don't get me wrong, the strong option was the only one, but not the elimination of anyone against him, that's asking for a whole other problem.

Is not so nice in your part to say that every one got different problems if you think is isi to live in the country let’s go and help them clean up their mess
@@juanrios1484 it's not legal for us to go clean up the type of mess they have. I don't think it would be hard with a like 100 ppl and a lot of cameras everywhere and drones some with gun's on them too. A military could take care of this fast. Even normal ppl could with the right technology and gun's they would drop and be arrested like flys. There government could stop them if they really wanted to.
Any gang is people who need a group behind them to embellish their egos, making them feel powerful, standing on your own shows true character strength.
