Subdivisions around Mexico City put on block parties and set up rings to cheer on their favorite local wrestlers. Policeman José Guzmán trades in his baton and riot shield for tights and black lipstick when he performs as “Granaloco”. Attacks on journalists by Mexican drug cartels transformed Veracruz, traditionally a vibrant commercial and cultural center, into one of the most dangerous places in the world to report the news. Veracruz never was the epicenter of Mexico’s drug war, but violence in the beachfront city has surged since 2011. In the last year and a half, 11 journalists from the area have died covering the violence. Manuel Monroy, a young crime reporter, is one of the few journalists who remains on the frontline. Drug traffickers kidnap and murder a nephew and uncle, both of whom were journalists covering Mexico's drug war in Veracruz. The youth movement #YoSoy132 shook-up the debate before Mexico's presidential elections in July. Now that the ballots have closed, #YoSoy132 attempts to find its footing in the nation's political scene.
