Since Mexican president Felipe Calderón declared war on the cartels that control the multibillion-dollar drug trade in 2006, some leaders have been eliminated, but their power has not been broken. As of 2024, roughly 400,000 people have been killed and 60,000 have disappeared, making this the most brutal conflict in the Western Hemisphere. Over a period of fifteen years, war photographer and cultural anthropologist Teun Voeten captured the narco violence in powerful images: murders, funerals, cops, military police, and cartel gunmen, but also survivors, addicts, and homeless persons. These are images of a struggling population trying to maintain its dignity against all odds.
