State of Silence
Estado de silencio
State of Silence suit quatre reporters qui risquent leur vie en poursuivant leur quête de vérité et de fiabilité. Ces journalistes mettent en lumière la douleur et la peur que leurs concitoyen·nes endurent encore aujourd’hui après deux décennies de cette soi-disant guerre contre la drogue. Ce faisant, ils et elles acceptent le risque d’être la cible de la répression. Ce sont des enquêteur·ses, des chroniqueur·ses et des victimes de la violence déclenchée par le système de la narcopolitique, ce dangereux point de fusion entre les entreprises du crime organisé et les gouvernements locaux corrompus. Ce portrait intime rappelle avec urgence que la liberté de la presse au Mexique ne peut rester en état de siège.
