Using murder and intimidation on residents, narco gangs are fighting each other to control new drug-growing territories.

Tierras Coloradas lies in the "Golden Triangle", the center of marijuana and opium poppy growing.
"The situation is out of control," said the Durango prosecutor. "Organized crime has no limits any more. They don't respect women or children. It's a situation of total brutality."
