Impunity in Mexico
2D Animation Explainer Video
2021
This 2D animation explainer video for Reporters ohne Grenzen highlights the issue of impunity in Mexico, where systemic corruption and weak judicial institutions allow crimes to go unpunished. Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries for journalists worldwide, with the highest number of media workers murdered in countries not at war. The entanglement of politics and organized crime makes reporting on sensitive topics like corruption or drug and human trafficking life-threatening, while also paralyzing legal action against crimes committed against media professionals.
This video was created to inform and raise awareness about the dangers faced by journalists in Mexico. It highlights the systemic threats, violence, and lack of legal protection that media workers face, stressing the urgent need for reform and protection of press freedom in the country.
