El Paso - When truth is silenced, families carry the cost
In Mexico, where speaking the truth can be a death sentence, journalists face increasing threats to their lives. This action-packed documentary follows the families of those who once held power to account but were driven out of the country for doing so.
These are not just tales of censorship and fear—they are deeply human stories of separation, sacrifice, and survival. As the world watches press freedom erode, the film gives voice to those left in the shadows, showing the lasting toll of silenced journalism not only on democracy, but on love, identity, and home.
