Amazonas está apenas a 90 metros sobre el nivel del mar. No hay viento ni sombra. Para sobrevivir, algunos indígenas transportan a pie las pesadas mercancías que llegaron por el río. Hasta 80 kilos pueden alcanzar estos racimos de plátano, verdura básica de la alimentación lugareña que, antes de llegar a la cocina, se pasean por húmedos, polvorientos y calurosos paisajes.<br />

  • Guarding Mexico's Elite/ Story Summary: During President Calderon's term (2006 - 2012), over 60,000 people were killed in drug related violence. Kidnappings remain another source of income for organized crime. Many Mexicans, especially elite families, feel constantly under threat. While corrupt police are often part of the problem, wealthy Mexican families who are prime kidnapping targets often take protection into their own hands by hiring private militias of bodyguards. One prominent Mexican head of family ("José”) allowed coverage of his family and their team of highly-trained bodyguards, giving a unique insight into Mexican society, under the condition that his full name and city of residence would never be published, for his family's protection. <br />

The bodyguards maintain constant communication with and close proximity to their "principal" at all times. As a result of Mexico's increasing violence, many of the country's elites take protection into their own hands, by hiring private security forces.
