Chivis Martínez for Borderland Beat
![]()
On BB forum, I posted a number of clips from the just released movie "Narco Cultura", Buggs also posted about the movie and a couple of trailers.
Photojournalist Shaul Schwarz documents Mexico’s drug war culture, through the music scene and the narcocorrido. These narcocorridos, are gaining huge popularity with the under 30 generation, as they embrace the scene even faster than the “war” is spreading.
This clip takes place at the border fence that separates El Paso Texas from Ciudad Juárez, it begins with a self assured Border Patrol spokesman, explaining how well the fence and technology is working in the fight against trafficking and unlawful migrant crossings, and the numbers being down considerably. Schwarz is heard off camera asking a question…see what happens next.
