A drug cartel war has made Guerrero State the deadliest region in Mexico.

The area is the center of the country’s illegal production of opium which becomes heroin.

Americas Now takes you to the poppy fields of Guerrero and takes a look at how the state has turned into a battleground for gun-toting gangs.

This week on a Special Edition of “Americas Now.” Sunday at 6 p.m. EST or 6 a.m. Beijing time on CGTN America. You can also watch via your web-connected device at: america.cgtn.com/livestream/
