In March 2011, gunmen from one of the most violent drug trafficking cartels in the world swept through a small Mexican border town, leaving behind dozens of disappearances and deaths. This series follows ProPublica’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Ginger Thompson as she investigates an instance where America’s war on drugs had devastating civilian consequences. The Making Of A Massacre includes interviews with surviving townspeople, officials, and cartel members – voices of some townspeople have been narrated by actors in translation – and is particularly timely given Trump’s aggressive and erratic threats to clamp down on groups like MS-13.
