Mexico Cartels

Stacey Dooley visits Mexico, the world's largest producer of meth, where she finds the battle between drug cartels, the police and vigilantes is overwhelming the country.

In the past ten years 200,000 people have been murdered in Mexico. It is more than in Iraq or Afghanistan. Many of these victims fell in the streets of Ciudad Juarez, very close to the border with the United States. Today it is the most dangerous city in the world. And the bloodshed never ends.

Against the backdrop of President Trump's much-trumpeted wall, Reginald D Hunter takes a 2,000-mile road trip along the US-Mexico border to explore how romance and reality play out musically where third-world Mexico meets first-world USA on this broken road to the American dream. Classic American pop and country portray Mexico as a land of escape and romance, but also of danger - think of Marty Robbins's El Paso, The Drifters' Mexican Divorce or Ry Cooder's Across the Borderline. Against this evocative western soundtrack, Hunter explores the border music as it is today, much of it created by musicians drawn from the 36 million Mexican-Americans who are US citizens.
