Good Juarez documentary

They may be a terrorist propaganda media outlet on the Middle East, or at least their seen like it. I have to say Al Jazeera English has become one of my go to source to get the latest news on the drug war. Their recent Fault Lines documentary called “Impunity and Profits” does what no other major English speaking media outlet has done, at least from my daily research of this drug war since it’s begging in early 2007, which is the connection between NAFTA and the War on Drugs.

This less than 30 minute documentary describes how drugs and corporate profits in Juarez are worth more than a human life.

Quotes from the documentary:
“In Mexico, I was well-known as a doctor, everyone knew me. And here, I am nothing….”
-Juarez refugee

“Juarez is the biggest mental institution in the world, it’s the biggest…”
-Jose Antonio Galvan

“the biggest cause of death in Mexico, is the American drug prohibition….”
“Al-Qaeda couldn’t do to Juarez what the US government done….”

-Charles Bowden
