At some point every war reporter questions how far he or she is willing to go for a story and whether death is worth the risk. One of the deadliest places to work is just across the border in Mexico, where more than eighty reporters have been killed since 2000. Reportero focuses on a fearless journalist-run newspaper in Tijuana called Zeta that dares to print stories about organized crime and drug cartels, complete with mug shots of narco dons on the front page. The film follows Sergio Haro and his intrepid colleagues as they investigate corruption in their own neighborhoods while facing very real death threats that are often seen through. The film examines the toll the reporters’ pursuit of the truth takes on them and their families.  RS
