Trafficking drugs earns the Sinaloa cartel an estimated three to twelve billion dollars per year. It's a huge business, with more than 200,000 people in the region of Sinaloa alone, working directly or indirectly for organized crime. We gained exceptional access to several factions of the Sinaloa cartel. In the heart of a clandestine laboratory, the "cooks" showed us how drugs are manufactured and then concealed in vehicles to enter the United States illegally. An important leader of the cartel, protected by his heavily armed men, also agreed to meet with us and explain how the organization works.

The mothers are the last to admit that their sons are drug traffikers.. they always say He wouldnt hurt no one.

It is pretty wild that even the cartel recognizes how harmful fent is on their community

I really feel bad for all of those normal people. The women go after cartel members to live a better life, the funeral services taking advantage of people for their money. It’s all crazy

When a mother says " my son would never hurt anyone " I already know that the son was the devil incarnate 😭

2:17 The audacity of these guys to ask for reaching home safely but when it comes to others they don’t give a damn and just kill without reason. Hypocrisy at its peak

Got to love censoring images of drugs in a documentary about drugs.

After a couple months of being missing in Mexico it’s for sure that they’re gone. It’s amazing that these mothers continue on their search to find their boys after half a decade

man, when that lady said "it looks like someone has chained you up" and she broke down.... that was absolutely heart breaking. These poor women deserve so much better.

Never forget this one simple fact: the cartels couldn't survive if it weren't for the United States' ravenous appetite for drugs.

This documentary was good. It showed everything that goes on and how real things are. Makes you realize some people have it way worse or no choice

The last 3 minutes of this documentary are absolutely gut wrenching as a parent 😭

It’s kind of crazy, those cemeteries monuments look better than most houses in Mexico 😂

I get the impression that these men are at the bottom of the cartel hierarchy.

My parents are from this city and state, my dad is 99 y/o and back in the 90s he told us the reason why he brought us to the U.S." I didn't want to raise my kids in that environment"

Mexico needs a president like that of el salvador😊

I hope I live long enough to see everyone in the world get a chance at a decent life. This was heart wrenching to watch. Makes you appreciate where you are if you're doing slightly better.

No matter how hard you think you are, once you in Mexico you’ll become a nice guy.

Its really hard to explain and to understand how deeply this runs in this country culture. Those girls live in a city where everywhere you go there´s that shadow lurking over you. Her own father wants to do her. She will earn pennies with honest job. She will he harrased until she gives in with a middle guy. They also grow up longing for nice clothes, luxury items and tempted with easy money. Same goes with the guys, that dude piling up lettuce wont get access to a pretty girl to start a family, because, see the previous statement, no girl there will pay attention to him making 100 pesos daily. A mother, first "never could guess her son was doing bad businesses" and the son had cars, money, gold plated pistols and doesnt work anywhere (like a normal job). And the circle goes on and on.

Those tombstone houses are crazy
