Anyone’s Child Mexico, the interactive documentary.Since the Mexican state intensified its drug war in 2006 more than 28,000 people have disappeared and over 150,000 have been murdered. They walked out of their homes one day, never to return. Often, no-one knows where they are, or whether they are dead or alive. And for every person disappeared, someone is still searching.
“The current war is not a war against drug trafficking, nor against drugs themselves,” states María Herrera, desolately. “It is a war against families. It is a war against society. It is a war that affects all of us.” María lives on the frontline of the global drug war in Michoacán, Mexico – an ineffective and counterproductive war, to which she has lost four sons. She is now part of Anyone’s Child Families for Safer Drug Control, a growing group from across the world who are calling for the legal regulation of drugs.
It is a war against families. It is a war against society. It is a war that affects all of us.
