Caught in Trafficking: Gang Violence, the Drug Trade, and Central American Youth

This original film features Mauricio Velázquez, community member of Santa Anita la Union, and his life as a young man in rural Guatemala. Poverty is the norm, and any source of income, even illegal sources, seems to offer a brighter future than the present.
