"What's Wrong with Mexico?"
Presumed Guilty-Behind Bars
La Santa Muerte

Two Berkeley graduate students, with support from the U.S.-Mexico Futures Forum,  are putting the finishing touches on "Presumed Guilty," a documentary on the Mexican judicial system.

For more on the project and "El Tunel," the
shorter film on which the documentary is based, visit the "Presumed Guilty" website.

Denise Dresser is a professor at ITAM and political commentator for Mexico's Reforma. In an April 2009 CLAS talk, she examined the Calderón administration's "war" on drugs, and how the climate of insecurity has helped fuel the resurgence of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
