Honduras: Enter at Your Own Risk
Honduras carries one of the world's highest murder rates, and this film follows the people living inside that statistic. Police units run raids against MS-13 and Barrio 18 cells, tracking leads after a fellow officer is shot, while the camera sits with grieving families waiting on murders that will likely stay unsolved. Former gang members describe how they got in and what it took to get out, and pastors and journalists explain how entire neighborhoods have been carved into territory by the two rival gangs. Ordinary Hondurans talk about the daily calculations of survival: which streets to avoid, which hours are safe, when to just leave the country. The film moves between checkpoints, funerals, and cramped interview rooms, letting officers, civilians, and ex-gang members carry the narrative rather than a heavy voiceover. It is bleak material shot plainly and directly, building its picture of the country from the accumulation of individual cases rather than statistics alone.
