What It's Like to Grow Up in the Narco Zone Op-Docs

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
This week we continue with A Moment in Mexico, our special series of six Op-Docs by Mexican directors. The second film in the series is Everardo Gonzlezs haunting Children of the Narco Zone, which is a companion piece to his stunning feature documentary, La Libertad del Diablo (or Devils Freedom. In both films, Gonzlez 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 whats right and wrong. As in La Libertad del Diablo, Gonzlez 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.

Journalistic ethics- where did they go? Endangering people's lives by exposing them to this degree- when the content wouldn't have even been effected by better censorship of these people's identities. is just plain irresponsible, and any and all involved parties that O. K. 'd this should be held accountable, not just for the possible repercussions, but for their actions that may lead to any such repercussions as well.

This is sad and all but imagine if having a bf and you come up to the wrong one and kiss them bc they literally look alike and then that guy u kissed told his friend who is the girls bf and she was accused of cheating and the bfs dad is a narco. What happens next.

This is so sad, a lot of my generation are complaining about American and how corrupted it is, when In fact America is much safer than many many other places. I get so mad at those people, we are privileged compared to some countries

Just because she wears a mask, censors it
I mean think about u, really think that the Narcos wouldnt recognize the teacher theyve seen people and killed the people with the same mask without mistaking them for someone else

Okay but how are you just going to record this? And not change her voice and just have all the kids in the masks just stare at a camera? They're suffering, they don't want to be there or be recorded.
