Mexico Drug War Fast Facts CNN 1 hr ago © Provided by CNN
Here's a look at the Mexican Drug War. The Mexican government has been fighting a war with drug traffickers since December 2006. At the same time, drug cartels have fought each other for control of territory.
Facts
Enrique Peña Nieto, who was president from 2012 to 2018, continued the fight started by President Felipe Calderon against the cartels and drug-related violence. A huge victory for his administration was the 2014 arrest of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the boss of one of Mexico's most powerful drug trafficking operations, the Sinaloa cartel.
According to a July 2020 Congressional Research Service (CRS) report, about 125,000-150,000 homicides were organized crime-related from 2006 to 2018.

After getting cancelled thanks to last year’s coronavirus lockdowns, the San Francisco International Film Festival (hereafter SFFILM) returns this year with its 2021 edition. Running from April 9-18, 2021, this year’s SFFILM mixes together online streaming and live events at the Fort Mason Center drive-in. This year’s program presents 103 films from 41 different countries. 13 of these films are World Premieres.
One of these World Premieres takes Opening Night honors at the Fort Mason Center venue. Chase Palmer’s crime drama “Naked Singularity” stars John Boyega as Casi, an impassioned public defender. His accidental stumbling onto an attempted heist leads to his vying with both dirty cops and drug cartel members for control of an impounded SUV carrying millions of dollars worth of heroin. Can he and his two friends liberate the stash without getting killed by competitors also interested in the illicit drugs?

By Salma Kaufman
Mexico City, Apr 4 (efe-epa).- Acapulco is ending this year’s Holy Week with a flood of visitors who have overwhelmed local beaches and bars presaging a much-feared third wave of Covid-19 infection in Mexico, which so far has suffered 2.25 million confirmed cases and more than 204,000 deaths.
After a 2020 during which the pandemic prevented the arrival of hundreds of thousands of free-spending tourists, the popular seaside resort has been resurrected, in a manner of speaking, into the country’s most desired tourist destination because of its golden beaches and nightlife, but this has all come at a complicated time.

Programming a film festival in 2021 has an inherent difficulty: Because of the coronavirus pandemic, filmmakers toiling away in 2020 were challenged like never before.
Worries about budget and resources are a constant in independent filmmaking; adding COVID-19 protocols to the mix affected everything from where to film to whom you hire for your crew and whom you cast.
So it’s quite the first San Francisco International Film Festival for programmer Jessie Fairbanks, who took over for longtime programmer Rachel Rosen this year. To her surprise, she found the quality of work she had to choose from to be inspiring.

It was a chance meeting in a far-away place, that would bring Santa Cruz one of its landmarks.
About 1906, American Warren Garret arrived in Guaymas, Mexico, with his wife Euphemia, in search of Indigenous Mexicans to interview. The Garrett’s admired the dusty little town for its natural setting, on the West Coast of the Sonora desert facing the Gulf of California. When introduced to Don Pedro B. Chisem as a man who knew the natives, Garrett was pleased to find a modest 67-year-old who spoke fluent English. However, Chisem had some misgivings. He’d gained the trust of his native workers, giving them jobs in ranching, farming and mining, and thus didn’t want them to be exploited.
