ITALIA | 2017 | 64'

Between the wall that divides it from the USA and experiences of poverty resistance, there is the reality of what is Mexico today. Policies that feed an endless war, the one with the Narcos, the trampled human rights, the poisoned land and the stories of those fleeing from misery and undeclared wars. From Ayotzinapa to Tijuana, a journey to the confines of humanity. Journalists such as José Gil, José Revelos, Marta Duran and the American writer John Gibler offer us a privileged vantage point from a country where information is constantly in danger. Mexico is one of the countries where more journalists die in the world. Alex, a twenty-day survivor of Ayotzinapa's facts, tells us what happened the night that 43 students disappeared.
