Freelancers: Mexico

They are a new breed of journalist. Daring, determined and tech-savvy, freelance foreign correspondents fill the void left by mainstream media retreating from international news coverage. With passion, creativity and the latest technology, they tell the human stories and report on the critical issues that demand our attention. Independent journalist Bill Gentile introduces us to his fellow free spirits in Mexico, where the so-called War on Drugs has left at least 175,000 people dead in the last decade, and 104 journalists murdered since the year 2000.
