Gangster Warlords: Drug Dollars, Killing Fields, and the New Politics of Latin America

With Ioan Grillo, a journalist, writer and TV producer based in Mexico City, in conversation with Bernardo Ruiz, a Mexican and American documentary filmmaker.

This illustrated lecture covers the history of drug trafficking and the incredibly shocking story of the men at the heads of the cartels throughout Latin America, and the crime wars now wracking Central and South America and the Caribbean, regions largely abandoned by the U.S. after the Cold War.
