Since 2006, the war between drug cartels has caused hundreds of victims and desaparecidos in Acapulco, a resort city in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero, now one of the most violent cities in the world. AVSI foundation has commissioned me the realization of a short documentary film and a photographic story in the 3 states of the “Polo para la Ciudadanía Participativa” project, a network of more than 200 Ngos working together with leading figures and local peace-builders able to increase local development. #avsi #avsimexico #poloproject #assignment #photography #film #documentary #documentarynow #view #documentaryphotography #color #peace #peacebuilding #desaparecidos #mexico #acapulco Since 2006, the war between drug cartels has caused hundreds of victims and desaparecidos in Acapulco, a resort city in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero, now one of the most violent cities in the world.
