Blood On The Wall

A National Geographic documentary directed by Academy Awards nominees Nicholas Quested and Sebastian Junger, which I co-produced.

It follows the Central American migrant caravan that crossed Mexico towards the US in late 2018, focusing in Ludy, a teenager who is flanked by her friends from Honduras, and Sara, a young mother and grandmother who hopes to escape the violence in Guatemala for a better future in the United States.

Through the path of the caravan through Mexico, the documentary unveils also the socioeconomic and political complexities in this country: the camera follows the people involve in drug trafficking towards the US, from the poor farmer that cultivates poppy for survival, to the members of the Sinaloa cartel that process and smuggle the drug into the US; two photographers in Acapulco that are dealing daily with the gang-related violence in this once golden resort for Hollywood stars; and interviews with relevant politicians, journalists and members of the Mexican civil society.
