Synopsis

Tijuana was the first city where the federal government sent marines and federal police to battle the drug cartels. Violence in the streets increased considerably after that and every single day locals had to defeat their own fear of leaving the house and venturing on to the streets. They had to find new values to define themselves, face their own demons and continue living. Journalist Omar Millan carried through a schedule of interviews with people living in the most dangerous quarters, those from the east side of the city. Then, he completed the viewpoint of the community with cold data and thorough journalistic research. This book challenges the official version of the drug war in Mexico with testimonies that acquire a whole new, brutal dimension when accompanied by the photographs of Guillermo Arias, Alejandro Cossio, and Jorge Duenes.
