| Description: |
A shocking account of the violence engulfing Honduras, from one of the few journalists to visit the country. |
| Synopsis: |
Honduras has become a warzone. Though this war has long been ignored by the outside world, the country nevertheless suffers from a higher murder rate than Iraq, as it finds itself torn between rival drug cartels, local gangs, and a military and police force no less violent than the criminals they oppose. Corruption is rampant, and the judicial system is woefully ill equipped to cope with the scale of the bloodshed. Every day, more and more people leave the country in the hopes of finding refuge and a better life in the US. For years, Alberto Arce was the only foreign correspondent in Tegucigalpa, Honduras's beleaguered capital. Journeying through the city's barrios and prisons, he has witnessed first hand the country's descent into anarchy. In the process, he exposes the complicity of the authorities in fueling the chaos, through crimes ranging from the abuse of prisoners to government sanctioned death squads. Provocative and at times heart-rending, Arce's account is an urgent wake-up call to a world which has for too long turned its back on the suffering of the Honduran people. |
