This episode tells the story of Edmundo García—a 75-year-old man from Zimatlán, Oaxaca—who never dreamed of leaving his land, his mezcal, or his roosters behind. But when organized crime crept into his family’s life through the world of cockfighting, Edmundo and his son Valente found themselves staring down death.
From cartel threats to a bloodstained warning—“You’re next”—this is a story of forced displacement, family legacy, unbearable loss, and the strength to keep going for the sake of a grandson’s future.
🎙️ Featuring a voice collaboration by Rev. Jay Hartley, whose narration carries Edmundo’s story with care and reverence.
