Mexico's drug war has killed roughly 40,000 people since President Felipe Calderon sent the military after the cartels in 2006, but the killing that makes headlines is not the whole story. In this second episode of a two-part Fault Lines series, correspondent Josh Rushing travels to Guerrero, one of the country's poorest states and a major source of drug crops, to examine claims that security forces are using the cartel war as cover to move against indigenous and campesino communities. He talks with farmers who work land surrounded by the narco-economy and with organizers who have taken up arms or formed self-defense patrols against both cartels and the state. The film follows accounts of disappearances and intimidation that never make the international coverage of cartel violence, and asks what it costs communities to fight dispossession on their own when the government meant to protect them is the one they no longer trust. Guerrero becomes the case study for a quieter, low-intensity conflict running underneath the visible drug war.
