I think this story is very sad. Everyday these people fear for their lives, even if they haven't had any bad encounter with the drug cartels. "As many as 28,000 people have been killed by the cartels since 2007", these are dramatic death counts for any one city to carry. The death in this city makes for a very sympathetic environment to even photograph.
My favorite photo in the video is the one where the father to one of the victims of the cartels has his hands over his head with a painful look of despair on his face. The composition technique very clear in this picture is the rule of simplicity, the only thing in this photo is the father and all the attention is on his emotion of sorrow and despair. This picture is also very focused,making every tense in the father's face very noticeable and distinct. This photo caught my eye because the emotion caught in this photo strung a note in my heart and made me feel sympathetic to this person.
