The border these migrants are seeking to be granted entry to is the very same that narco-traffickers cross regularly as they move drugs and money back and forth between Mexico and the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The issues Mexico faces right now are layered and complex and ultimately intertwined with how the U.S. has approached foreign policy and immigration since the Reagan era. The history and the future of the country and its inhabitants is so bound up in the larger forces at work in the region, it&#8217;s vital to look at them holistically. We&#8217;re reaching a juncture in this election year when understanding the socio-political landscape of our neighbors is incredibly important for people before going into a voting booth,&#8221; said director Sebastian Junger.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3255024835\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Systemic change is top of mind for a lot of people right now and that conversation needs to include U.S. foreign policies that only enhance the inequities across our southern border, allowing ruthless leaders and cartels to take advantage of people for their personal gain. Humans are remarkably resilient, but when you disenfranchise them, taking away their peace and stability, it can leave them in a very desperate situation. The urgency of tackling these nuanced, extremely complex issues &#8211; caravans, cartels and corruption &#8211; has never been greater,&#8221; added director Nick Quested.<\/p>\n<p>Key interviews include:<\/p>\n<p>Ludy, a Honduran teenage girl with no family who joins a caravan heading north.<br \/>\nSara, her children and grandchildren, from Guatemala who have also joined the caravan to the U.S.<br \/>\nFelipe Calder\u00f3n, President of Mexico (2006-2012).<br \/>\nArturo Sarukhan, Mexican Ambassador to the U.S. (2007-2013).<br \/>\nJulia Preston, New York Times Mexico correspondent (1995-2001).<br \/>\nCarmen Aristegui, CNN en Espa\u00f1ol anchor.<br \/>\nAlan Bersin, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner (2010-2011).<br \/>\nJack Riley, Former Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Deputy Director.<br \/>\nJaime L\u00f3pez-Aranda, Latin America policy expert and former Mexican government official.<br \/>\nSantiago, a poppy farmer in Mexico.<br \/>\n\u00c1ngel Mundo, Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers&#8217; College survivor of the 2014 Iguala mass kidnapping and massacre by local authorities colluding with organized criminals.<br \/>\nAnonymous drug makers in a Sinaloa Heroin Lab.<br \/>\nAnonymous drug runners based on the southern U.S. border.<\/p>\n<p>BLOOD ON THE WALL is National Geographic&#8217;s second collaboration with filmmakers and producing partners Junger and Quested following the 2017 duPont-winning feature documentary Hell on Earth: The Fall of Syria and the Rise of Isis.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement follows the success of National Geographic Documentary Films&#8217; The Cave from Feras Fayyad, which was nominated for a 2020 Academy Award(R).
