DEMOLER's The Prelude is a dive into the origins of Mexico's 'War on Drugs' and how we ascended into becoming one of the largest transnational narcotics trafficking countries. We cover the rise of drugs, the old generation of trafficking organizations, and the corrupt officials and politicians that profited from it.
