STATE OF SILENCE
Special Features: Q&A with filmmaker Santiago Maza
[ESTADO DE SILENCIO]
A free press is a cornerstone of a democracy. But in Mexico, independent journalists have been facing escalating violence and intimidation since the "war on drugs" began over two decades ago. Operating in zones of silence where narcos and corrupt officials make reporting almost impossible, four brave journalists — Jesús Medina, Juan de Dios García Davish, María de Jesús Peters and March Vizcarra — are forced to choose between their safety and their careers.
