Mexico’s Drug War

The L.A Times recently launched their interactive investigation of the conflict between Mexico’s powerful drug gangs and the country’s ruthless government troops – a gruelling but incredible body of multi-media journalism that delves right inside this parallel violent world on North America’s doorstep. As well as remarkably raw still photography and video with optional captions, an interactive map introduces the geography of the main players in this ongoing war, and slinky navigation options make for a fascinating but disturbing insider view.
