Carmen Aristegui

Mexico, March 2015. Carmen Aristegui, incorruptible journalist, has been fired from the radio station where she has worked for years. Supported by more than 18 million listeners, Carmen continues her fight. Her goal: raising awareness and fighting against misinformation. The film tells the story of this quest: difficult and dangerous, but essential to the health of democracy. A story in which resistance becomes a form of survival.

A compelling look at the dangerous, continuing risks committed journalists face in Mexico, where reporting on their country’s corruption and “narco politics” has led to the silencing and killing of some of their peers.

When victims who have suffered those crimes, turn to justice in order to reconstruct their lives and their dignity, they are invariably confronted with a complex framework of political and economic interests operating against them, generating oftentimes insurmountable obstacles. In their efforts, they discover that principles such as Universal Justice may be their only path to overcome these obstacles or to accelerate judicial processes. The story repeats itself at different moments, in different places around the globe, under the same sun.

After being kidnapped in Syria and witnessing the execution of a colleague, war correspondent Témoris Grecko returns to a Mexico submerged in violence and starts a chronicle of the 3 most dangerous years for mexican journalists, from 2015 to 2017.
