A Film Screening of "Reportero"
鈥淩eportero鈥 follows a veteran journalist, Sergio Haro, for the independent paper Zeta. Zeta is a weekly paper in Tijuana which regularly reports on cartel related murders and corrupt politicians.

The films fundamental question is, as the drug war intensifies and the risks to journalists become greater, will the free press be silenced?
