Just finished watching #thegringohunters on #netflix.

We are trying to avoid #USA content. Like reading #theaustralian, once you stop you suddenly discover what a load of propaganda garbage you have been subjected to. You start seeing the world through different eyes.

Back to the show. It is set in #mexico, specifically #tijuana, on the border of the USA. A group of Mexican police have been created by Mexico to help USA #marshals track down American criminals. That is there only job.

We have never watched anything from the South American countries , unlike Asia and Europe it seems to be limited. Also this series is based upon a #washingtonpost article and it seems to be produced by Americans even though everything is, by my limited understanding, Mexican.

Anyway brilliant. It is a story with a point and relates to how these police do their job while handling corruption in the existing
police command. They made it clear it wasn’t police in general just the leaders of the town of #tijuana.
