Default Emiliano Salinas: A civil response to violence

Emiliano Salinas, son of former president Carlos Salinas de Gortari, confronts the current climate of violence in Mexico -- or rather, how Mexican society responds to it. He calls on ordinary citizens to move from denial and fear to peaceful, community-based action.

Definitely worth watching...

Mostly a decent inspirational, but that part about not viewing ourselves as victims went badly off the rails, IMO.

When he named some perps it was almost like giving them a pass.
