Caption/Description

Together with their families Edgar and Denis live in El Mesquital, a neighborhood ruled by the Maras Salvatrucha. - We have to stay in this area. If we move further up it becomes dangerous. That is the area of Dieocho. I live for my neighborhood, I die for my neighborhood. That is what we say. If you join you live and die there.
