Crossing Continents: Sinaloa - Women and the Narcos

The Mexican state of Sinaloa is synonymous with drug trafficking. With the profits from organised crime a driver of the local economy, the tentacles of `narco cultura" extend deep into people's lives - especially those of women. In the city of Culiacan, plastic surgeons service demand for the exaggerated feminine silhouette favoured by the men with guns and hard cash. Often women's surgery will be paid for by a `sponsor" or `godfather". Meanwhile, women trackers spend their weekends digging in isolated parts of the state, looking for the remains of loved ones who disappear in Sinaloa's endless cycle of drug-fuelled violence.
