Vice season 6, episode 24 recap: Death Inc. and Bannon’s World
By Grant Butler
On the latest episode of Vice, the show took a look at violence in Mexico and how populism is affecting Europe.
The first segment Vice aired after a one month break looked at the state of violence and corruption in Mexico.
Homicides in Mexico from gang-related violence are reaching record levels and because of massive corruption, the vast majority of the murders go unsolved. As a result, mass graves are scattered all over the country.
Since local government is widely considered to be corrupted by organized crime, local journalists in Mexico are one of the few ways to fight back against corruption.
