Where are the nicknames of soldiers and series? 2025/04/18

A few days ago, a TEXCOCO concert ended in a mature battle because the singer refused to explain Narcocorridos. They were banned in the area, and even that, the attendees demanded that they sing them. The accident was not just an excessive act of violence: it was a mirror of what was happening in the country, as the courses have always been reflected.

The traditional tour of Mexico talked about the rebels, thieves, or outskirts outside the law: from Herachlio Bernal to Tigre de Santa Julia. What changed is the context: Narco culture is not only tolerated, but is celebrated.

It is not new. With rhythm and melody, narcorridos tells the lives of those who have become a millionaires outside the law. But the most anxious thing is that these stories have become a highly productive drug, which normalizes and glorifies the personality of the perpetrator.

Drugs have a lot of visual and narcotic seduction more powerful than drugs. While running can tell the story of the drug traffickers in three minutes, a series that leads to the viewer for several seasons, shows luxuries, strength, impunity, and ambitious lifestyle.

Drug dealers are depicted as a bold and strong man, who has a life and respect for the authorities themselves. Personality, though brutality, becomes idol. What is the message that young people receive in contexts where social inequality, marginalization and bread escape every day? This crime can be a legitimate way to succeed.

While this happens, the real heroes do not have a screen. Do not appear in a series or songs. I mean the Mexican army soldiers, sailors and police, who face crime with limited resources, at a constant threat, in single trenches. He wears the uniform who gave their lives to defend the country, whose names rarely appear in the newspapers and hardly receive a line in a text.

Where are your stories? Why no one tells them? Why did the national cinema produce great series or series on a family or military company that rejects the corrupt? Why did he not make a movie about the soldier or the navy who resisted NARCO with dignity until the last day?

The lack of these novels is not accidental. In producers, on many levels of the state, there are politicians and officials whose interests are linked to organized crimes. Building a culture of recognition of the institutional championship would disturb those who prefer to maintain silence, mystery and impunity as a rule.

Mexico has heroes. There are in the armed forces, in the state and the municipal police, in the villages that resist, in the mothers, the judges who do not do so They curve. Unless he has – or he did not want to obtain it – is the state’s will ready to give them the voice, face and place in the collective imagination.

It is not a matter of oversight or chain. It comes to playing the story, investing in a different and honest narration, not perfectly weighing, but it gets to know those who fight with principles, even when the entire system runs their backs. Today more than ever, Mexico needs to see its real heroes reflect on the screen, in songs, in books and memory. Because although the crime monopolizes the story, it will continue to get half a country in your hands.
