One particular quote that Charles Bowden said regarding the war on drugs that stuck out to me was: "This is a war that benefits prison guards, federal agents, and drug cartels." He paints a grim picture; the war has turned Mexico into a modern day Vietnam with an economy that depends on drugs. He shares that despite the frequent killing of Mexican journalists, their media projects a more honest representation of the reality of the situation as opposed to the American media's portrayal of events. His interview is sadly a testament to the seemingly unfathomable dream of a peaceful Mexico without drugs. When viewed in conjunction with works such as "De camino al ahorita", it's difficult to not view illegal immigrants from Mexico as refugees. Regardless, what art forms are capable of surviving such blatant censorship within Mexico? Will more emphasis be placed on online anonymous cyber communication/representation out of fear of persecution? Are works such as "De camino al ahorita" going to be nearly impossible to portray live in Mexico due to the dangerous climate?
