The Committee to Protect Journalists estimates that 48 journalists have been killed or kidnapped in Mexico between 2006 and 2011. With violence escalating along the border due to Mexican drug cartels, coupled with government corruption, the job of reporters has become increasingly risky, and at times, life-threatening.
In the face of all of this, Zeta, a weekly Mexican newspaper, continues to cover and investigate the violence and corruption, often putting their journalists on the frontlines.
In a new point-of-view-style documentary airing on PBS stations tonight, filmmaker Bernardo Ruiz follows the story of Zeta, and its brave editorial team, that carries forward with its mission despite direct attacks on its own staff and reporters.
