From the mountains of North West Mexico, their reach now extends not just across North and South America, but into Europe, Africa, and Asia. This reach and power are based on one thing – trafficking illegal drugs.
The US spent millions trying to capture its leader Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman, but his imprisonment in 2019 has barely dented the cartel’s ability to traffic drugs, murder competitors, corrupt officials and rake in billions.
This is because law enforcement and most media fundamentally misunderstand how the Sinaloa Cartel works.
This episode explores how a mix of ultra-flexible adaptability has created a business model that has allowed the Sinaloa Cartel to change with the times, and maintain their hold on the international illicit drugs market.

As a Mexican living in Culiacan, the aspect of this that pains me the most is the lifestyle centered around the cartels; children here grow up wanting to join them, and it's extremely upsetting to watch more people getting involved in it on a regular basis. Movies, music, and television programs all contribute to this culture and encourage people to believe they are doing well for themselves.

I feel sorry for the majority of genuinely good people in Mexico who are caught in the crossfire.

the capture and the immediate release of el Chapo's son was just insane, as soon as they found out the police had captured him the Cartel took control of the city Bane style. The feds could do literally nothing and were forced to just give him back.

I'm from Culiacán, Sinaloa. A few years ago I witnessed a car theft at gun point outside my home. Two days later the thief was found dead with signs of torture and with Hot Wheels cars glued to his back. It was a message from the cartel to all the car theft gangs. The cartel did the same to the kidnapping gangs and has been doing it for a while as a way of protecting us. A lot of people praise the cartel for doing so and support them (not me). BUT the capture and release of Ovidio (El Chapo's son) in 2019 and again last weekend were two episodes of terror that changed the entire perspective. Now people are afraid of the cartel, and many are suffering from PTSD from last weekend's rampage of shootings, burnings and theft. People are afraid of leaving their homes because we hate to admit that the worse is yet to come.

The 'we like to congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs' at the end of these Vice documentaries always gets me 😂😂

Feel sorry for the kids that get effectively forced into the cartels with only one way to get out☠️

Amazing documentary Vice you did it again!

As disturbing and as shameful as it sounds, I live in an area controlled by Sinaloa cartel. I can tell you that we live in peace, no one is bothered, people aren’t extorted, my uncle owns 200 cattle head and has never had one stolen. Unfortunately the way things are, Sinaloa cartel is still the least violent cartel.

I live in Colombia.
The problem Mexico has now is very similar to what we faced 30 years ago.
They have a long way to go.
We lost the war on drugs and is costing our countries lots of blood.

If you do your research, most of the leaders in the 70's-80's who branched out came from Sinaloa.

Vice really got some good content on YouTube, wouldn't expect media to try this hard.

I lost my childhood friend and to Gangs In the city of Mangaluru in south India. Its tough. We were classmates. He was a very friendly boy, he had a lot of potential but he had a disturbed upbringing which led to him joining a gang when we were in school. He eventually dropped out of school. He was murdered around the time I was about to finish college. Worst part is the cops were the ones who sold him out to a rival gang and they hacked him to death. Looking back, he always Idolized gangster and looked up to them, its sick.
