Guatemala is one of the most violent countries in the world. 95% of murders remain unsolved, and the ultra-violent Maras manage drug trafficking, prostitution, and racketeering in the country and spread terror among the population. After several weeks of negotiation, we gained access to some of these gangs.
my dad is from Guatemala, came to the United states in the early 70s because he wanted a better life. sad to see where my dads from so corrupt, hes told me alot of storys about it.
You're on the right track with your videos, the themes appealing to younger people. I get it. Maybe you are wondering why low views. Well besides the obvious of lack of attention of the gen z so they do ten seconds videos, I'm having an many channels not currently hot viral are having, is we simply pumping out too much.. people can't handle us and our higher vibration because they're spiritless. Without the light body self spirited. Because a lot of us are getting discouraged. This world is an oppression matrix.. it's only trying to steal our light and definitely not empower us. Make more shorts and you can even connect them to the full video like say tyler Oliveira channel he does that well. I just made a lot more shorts and some of them viralize more than any long videos ever do
Yes! Vultures preying on hard working people just trying to provide fir their families. I wish the citizens would hand together and rid their society of these criminals. They aren't "conducting business", they are serial killers. Imagine how great tourism would be if it were safe. I can't imagine what the officers face.😢 I will be praying for the good people of Guatemala.❤🙏
I travelled over 70 countries including Guatemala 🇬🇹 and truly loved the country . I did not face any problem. Wish them good future from Buffalo New York ❤❤❤❤
Watching from Canada but I was born in Guatemala. I’ve been back many times since I was a kid and I love it. If you stay away from the Capital where the gangs are concentrated you’ll see how relatively safe and beautiful the country is. I’m going back in September and I can’t wait.
This documentary is focused on gangs (maras) from Guatemala and it sounds like Guatemala is very dangerous and unsafe, like you mentioned; it is relatively safe. I go there 3 to 4 times a year and I don't go to places where I know I may come across gangs. I do the same here in LA as well!
@@crazyhorse3344 It’s okay that’s your loss. There are dangerous areas even in the United States or Canada. If you keep living in a bubble you’ll never discover the beauty of this planet.
Until the government changes nothing else will. It’s the same everywhere now. I live in Canada and our government cares more about people coming from India then its own
Part of it is not true, Guatemala isn’t a violent country at all, these guy can’t generate more content with El Salvador so they resort to making content about Guatemala
Even being a poor country is a very high # of unsolved crimes which tells us a lot about politics and corruption but we never hear of incarceration of innocent citizens.
Been there twice and spent a month each time traveling all over the country. First time was in 2007 - the second time was in 2023. The people are great and the country is truly beautiful.
Very true. Guatemala's a wonderful country with amazing people. I once forgot my $500 tablet at the market in Quetzaltenango after buying some produce. 20 minutes later I realized it when I wanted to take a photo....I ran back and was flagged down by a young man calling out, "Señor señor! Su tablet!" His older female boss had kept it safe behind their stand.
@@dgaydos You were lucky. I had my credit card stolen when I stayed in a hostel in Antigua. Someone must have gone inside my backpack while I went to shower. They spent 75 bucks and I was without a credit card for the rest of my trip. Still a beautiful country so I took my wife there - 17 years after my initial visit. Xela is super run down but Flores has become neat and tidy.
You ever notice how every gang is the most feared, I wonder who’s the least feared. Another thing, if these gangs are so strong and feared why do they always live in the worst neighborhoods
They live among the regular people, like regular people, in their own territory that they control. And yes, whichever territory you are in, they are the most feared. If they didn't live there then the other gang would move in and take over. These guys will kill you or kidnap your kid for not paying "protection" money. All while the other gang, in the case of this documentary, Ms13, is doing what they can to kill every member they find and attempt to take over the racket in the neighborhood. As for your comment, arenyou suggesting otherwise? Like it's not true?
@anonymousprivet1227 NO, it's because those in the wealthy neighborhoods get in to corruption at the government level and don't need to join the local gangs to survive. There just as much crooks, maybe worse.
I'm a 33 year veteran teacher and 40 year missionary to many countries. I have been traveling to Guatemala to spread the Gospel and hand out 100's of chromebook laptop computers to schools and children in churches and poor neighborhoods especially in San Reymundo and Jalapa Guatemala. The people are amazing and humble. I love their food and culture. I will be returning for the 4th time this summer. I pray that these areas get cleaned up like El Salvador. God Bless them.
Guatemala has been Christianized for over 500 years. A lot of good that does. What they need, is to lose superstition, gain education and critical thinking skills, while removing corruption, and develop an economy.
@@evangelicalsnever-lie9792there are a lot of rich people and atheists, most of are middle class and upper class, some are richer than you, Guatemala isn’t a poor country it’s simply corrupt, it’s economy is still better than El Salvador, the violence isn’t bad compared to El salvador before Bukele
God bless you brother in Christ for helping the poor and especially for teaching the gospel ..May God bless you and keep you always Jesuschrist is coming soon! 🙏💙💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏🙏
It is heartbreaking to see this beautiful country go through this. Salvadorans know well what El Salvador was like before (worse than this) and how safe it is now. We all hope Guatemala and Honduras get this problem fixed soon.
@@sweetla4750 The problem started when the US supported Right-wing governments in Central America. The CIA overthrew a democratically elected president in Guatemala in 1954. Research before you speak, in the meantime, go play in the sand, little kid. Learn history. And don't @ me, I won't respond.
A simple rule of thumb is that if you see a country surrendering to gangs, it must have something to do with the politicians in that country or another country that benefits in some way. Individuals, even if they carry a powerful weapon, cannot overcome a highly trained group of police and army, powerful and sophisticated weapons do not make a powerful fighter. So politicians make it easier by reducing support for the army and police and making them weak logistically and even in terms of training, sometimes under the pretext of lack of resources. In those countries, don't be surprised if a family can't find a handful of rice for dinner while a politician's teenage son drives a Lamborghini
Here here, all developing countries could becom wealthy if it wasn't for corruption and the lack of common law. But hey they will blame the West all the same
@user-km8wp8xl7i You have a wrong idea. There is NO trained police. There is no police at all. Didn't you pay attention to what they showed about the "Police" ?

Is not so nice in your part to say that every one got different problems if you think is isi to live in the country let’s go and help them clean up their mess
@@juanrios1484 it's not legal for us to go clean up the type of mess they have. I don't think it would be hard with a like 100 ppl and a lot of cameras everywhere and drones some with gun's on them too. A military could take care of this fast. Even normal ppl could with the right technology and gun's they would drop and be arrested like flys. There government could stop them if they really wanted to.
Am from Guatemala and we don't called the neighborhoods favelas,, that's what they called them in Brazil. If he only got 6 men, 1 clip would take care of the entire gamg

I searched for something to watch on UA-cam, and the Guatemala story came up. The story of one of the gang members appears strong, that is, uncertain future for the younger generation of the South American nation.
So painful to see this. Most young people don’t even get to live more than 25 years… what kinda country is this? 😢horrible ….. y some rich and powerful countries don’t send their troops to get rid of these criminals…. And have peace in the region.
Yes salient point why do these gangs live in such terrible neighborhoods They make all this $ thru all these illicit activities, why aren't they living it up in a luxurious mansion with a hot tub and pool? Why ?
Salute to the guy christian and his family to a" human kindness to show them that you can live and make friends without a gangs" nice to hear god bless your family from 🇵🇭 philippines even if we live in a different ways but we are all human killing is an evil doing

Good to see that El Salvador is becoming a better country. People can go outside in peace. CECOT should never let these gangs out. These gangs found peace with GOD but the damage to families has already been done.
I lived in North West London for 15 years. My brothers still live in Kilburn and Watford. Our next door neighbours were from Kenya. Such lovely, respectful, decent people. 👌🙏
I met my wife in Antigua, Guatemala and lived there for a few months while I lived with a local family and took Spanish class there. This was in 2001, and things were REALLY sketchy there at that time too. I hope it gets better there for the peoples sake. They have never known a country of peace.
Antigua was never sketchy lol, go to Philly, queens, Newark, jersey city, Baltimore or Detroit, go in the hoods and I’ll bet you’ll come out in a coffin.
@@myworld4257Well, my man, I was speaking more in terms of Guatemala as a WHOLE rather than just Antigua, but ok. But while Antigua has always more or less been a hub for tourism over the years and protected as such, it still has problems that are endemic with the rest of the country, just maybe not on the same scale. Oh, and I would never visit those s***hole cities you mentioned because I don't go to places where people do not value life nor know the difference between right and wrong. But thanks for your input.
There are good ppl here in Baltimore too that care about human life and know the difference between right and wrong. So I would appreciate it if you didn't call my city a sh**hole. Thanks
@@brabbit7703 The problem is the good people in these cities just don't matter anymore, because the bad ones control everything. If you mattered, you would do something about it. So, while you bleed tears about people saying bad words about your cities, other people are actually BLEEDING. So spare me your sanctimony, bro. No time for that.
Love that family feeding all those kids and the kid in the wheelchair although being paralyzed has a great Family and a great attitude to live a great life and lead by example!!!
It makes u think on how crazy they spent their lives in crime and some from a young age, imagine after death they’ll achieve nothing and wont be remembered
Guatemala needs a Namibia Bukele as well as Mexico, Haiti and many other countries. Guatemala necesita un Namibian Bukele, igual Mexico, Haiti y muchos otros países.
You don't even realize all that NB has done. Systematically removed any opposition in government, nobody can stand up to him, fist step of becoming a dictator. Second hes eliminated his greatest opposition, the gangs. Third, quite a few innocent people are being locked up with no hope of release. Don't get me wrong, the strong option was the only one, but not the elimination of anyone against him, that's asking for a whole other problem.
Why so much evil in the human kind why nobody want to look for GOD why can we get alone there is enought around for every human in this planet we need to stand together and help each others out make a Better choise for the future of the family and others
How will you justify yourself when you stand in front of God on judgement day? Taking from hard working people so you don’t have to be a hard working person. It turns my stomach
The Police officers seem like good people. Risking their lives for their communities. The same for the guys protecting their communities. If I had money I would buy these police and guys bullet proof vets and helmets. Maybe the doco makers could set up some way for people to donate to them so they can buy them. Then film it so we can see they got the vests and how happy they are.
It's so sad that violence and corrupton is destroying such a beautiful country. Sadly I don't think anything will change because the government are just as corrupt.
There isn’t much violence believe or not, it’s a really good country but the leaders are definitely crooked but still Aguayo is the greatest and biggest economy in Central America
Not a single XV3 tattoo in 20 years.!?... NOT ONE!!!... I've met a few 18th street guys from Guatemala and el Salvador and they say once you get jumped in you get your first gang tat
Guatemalans need real leaders who have a vision for their people. a leader who cannot be bought nor sold to any form of corruption and violence...there is still hop for Guatemalans.
Just don't elect Biden 😂 maybe they should try Obama maybe he will do good 😂 Wouldn't that be crazy if Obama ran over there just because he wanted to be president again.😂
Watching in Ireland and counting my blessings. We really don't know how lucky we are until we see what goes on in other parts of the world. May God protect the innocent citizens of Guatemala and all other countries that have the same or similar issues.
Hey now! That was my uncles mustache! I knew Pedro's wife took it! I ran to Pedro's stopped out side! And thought ive never climbed a fence that high before! Then i woke up at home.
We don’t need a leader like Bukele since we aren’t in the same situation that El Salvador was in. El Salvador was the most violent country in all Latin America And Guatemala isn’t

I already told my wife if I die in guatemala or Mexico just bury me there , is way cheaper over there , they don't need to visit my grave , just move on , both countries have mostly nice people and some nice places , I wish mining companies saw these documentaries and never do business there and get scared just like lots of people will , thank God for the people who spread the gospel there , nothing is impossible for God .
Watching from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I am completely drawn to India! ❤

Trust me you don't what to be there
@@alexgooding-go1xt you don't know me, so you don't know that.
@@TravelAlwaysOfficial it's not about knowing eachother
It's about the truth
Truth doesn't change from person to person
Sun rises in the east
It doesn't change if we know eachother or not
One patrol car for the police station?! Thats insane of course theres nothing they can do. Government needs to help them, thats crazy
Watching from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Good to see that El Salvador is becoming a better country. People can go outside in peace. CECOT should never let these gangs out. These gangs found peace with GOD but the damage to families has already been done.
Watching from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
With appreciation to free documentary
Good lessons learned from our safety. 🎉😊
From Kenya ... watching from London
I bet your from kisumu
I lived in North West London for 15 years. My brothers still live in Kilburn and Watford. Our next door neighbours were from Kenya. Such lovely, respectful, decent people. 👌🙏
I met my wife in Antigua, Guatemala and lived there for a few months while I lived with a local family and took Spanish class there. This was in 2001, and things were REALLY sketchy there at that time too. I hope it gets better there for the peoples sake. They have never known a country of peace.
Antigua was never sketchy lol, go to Philly, queens, Newark, jersey city, Baltimore or Detroit, go in the hoods and I’ll bet you’ll come out in a coffin.
@@myworld4257Well, my man, I was speaking more in terms of Guatemala as a WHOLE rather than just Antigua, but ok. But while Antigua has always more or less been a hub for tourism over the years and protected as such, it still has problems that are endemic with the rest of the country, just maybe not on the same scale. Oh, and I would never visit those s***hole cities you mentioned because I don't go to places where people do not value life nor know the difference between right and wrong. But thanks for your input.
There are good ppl here in Baltimore too that care about human life and know the difference between right and wrong. So I would appreciate it if you didn't call my city a sh**hole. Thanks
@@brabbit7703 The problem is the good people in these cities just don't matter anymore, because the bad ones control everything. If you mattered, you would do something about it. So, while you bleed tears about people saying bad words about your cities, other people are actually BLEEDING. So spare me your sanctimony, bro. No time for that.
Shame their own peoples away poor peoples
Great DOCO just wish it wasn't filmed in negative 360p
1080 was just giant squares of pixelation.
🤣
Love that family feeding all those kids and the kid in the wheelchair although being paralyzed has a great Family and a great attitude to live a great life and lead by example!!!
You get great documentary for free yet you complain. How spoiled.
@@elishh8173 just wishing it was better video quality. Said it was a great documentary. So move along chump
Great documentary 🔥🔥
It makes u think on how crazy they spent their lives in crime and some from a young age, imagine after death they’ll achieve nothing and wont be remembered
the gang who watched this documentary
the gang : ohhh its them
🔫🔫
Thats what i thought too
Guatemala needs a Namibia Bukele as well as Mexico, Haiti and many other countries.
Guatemala necesita un Namibian Bukele, igual Mexico, Haiti y muchos otros países.
Viva Emperador Bukele!!!!
You don't even realize all that NB has done. Systematically removed any opposition in government, nobody can stand up to him, fist step of becoming a dictator. Second hes eliminated his greatest opposition, the gangs. Third, quite a few innocent people are being locked up with no hope of release. Don't get me wrong, the strong option was the only one, but not the elimination of anyone against him, that's asking for a whole other problem.
Why so much evil in the human kind why nobody want to look for GOD why can we get alone there is enought around for every human in this planet we need to stand together and help each others out make a Better choise for the future of the family and others
I agree 💯 wish everyone would come together.
Amen
❤
That poor kids, that poor bus driver in his family… I can’t believe they have to do that four hours a night…
How will you justify yourself when you stand in front of God on judgement day? Taking from hard working people so you don’t have to be a hard working person. It turns my stomach
Excellent documentary! Wahooooo
I don't blame El Savador's Bukele.😡
Nayib bukele The BEST!!!
Watching from Kampala uganda

Damn I just came from Guatemala. I felt very safe. I didn’t know it was dealing with all that violence
The Police officers seem like good people. Risking their lives for their communities. The same for the guys protecting their communities. If I had money I would buy these police and guys bullet proof vets and helmets.
Maybe the doco makers could set up some way for people to donate to them so they can buy them. Then film it so we can see they got the vests and how happy they are.
Fantastic interview 👏
Why any society keeps gang members alive once they've been arrested is beyond me.
My heart goes out to the young man Pedro is pulling into the dark world of crime.
You know you've nailed it when you have a house like Pedro's you just can't get tin like that anywhere
Guatemalans, please like here, I love you❤🎉
It's so sad that violence and corrupton is destroying such a beautiful country. Sadly I don't think anything will change because the government are just as corrupt.
There isn’t much violence believe or not, it’s a really good country but the leaders are definitely crooked but still Aguayo is the greatest and biggest economy in Central America
What a tragedy for humans to be a menace to other human beings. God never put us on this earth for such purposes
This is like a bad drama, that phonecall is completely scripted. If he was a real boss he wouldn't be on a documentary come on now
True
Otóż to 👍
Not a single XV3 tattoo in 20 years.!?... NOT ONE!!!... I've met a few 18th street guys from Guatemala and el Salvador and they say once you get jumped in you get your first gang tat
$$$$$
Not true . This foos love being known ! It shows their power.
America's going to be this beautiful in a few more years
Guatemalans need real leaders who have a vision for their people. a leader who cannot be bought nor sold to any form of corruption and violence...there is still hop for Guatemalans.
Just don't elect Biden 😂 maybe they should try Obama maybe he will do good 😂 Wouldn't that be crazy if Obama ran over there just because he wanted to be president again.😂
sus documentales me gustan mucho porque dicen lo real.
Gangs normally take advantage of people who have the least.
It was very interesting
Looking from Jamaica 🇯🇲😢😮 may god blessings go with everyone lord have mercy.😮
Watching in Ireland and counting my blessings. We really don't know how lucky we are until we see what goes on in other parts of the world. May God protect the innocent citizens of Guatemala and all other countries that have the same or similar issues.
@@skitzykitten6659 so true.
Watching from Uranus
😂
gracias por mostrar el mundo.
Guatemala needs a Bukele….
Not a Bukele, people aren’t dying like El Salvador 10 years ago
I thought South Africa was a dangerous country, to learn Guatemala is more dangerous run by gangs is astounding
South Africa cannot outdo Guatemala in terms of homicide
....thousands are cold-bloodedly murdered in this country by their fellow black killers.
GUATAMALA IS FAR WORSE @@tinnymodjadji5720
Watching from 🇨🇦 ❤ 🐺
Guatemala need a president as Bukele, no other choice to solve/neutralizes the gang/criminal problem
Dang Guatemala is like the Haiti of central America
Nope it’s all a bunch of bs, Guatemala isn’t a violent country like Mexico or Haiti. I’ve seen many rich people and middle class
@@myworld4257rich and middle class people being in a country doesn’t mean it can’t be dangerous.
@@myworld4257 How is it bs did u not just watch the documentary? It looks like real violence to me
There are lots of places in Guatemala that are lovely and totally safe! This is just mainly the capital and in certain areas!

Hey now! That was my uncles mustache! I knew Pedro's wife took it! I ran to Pedro's stopped out side! And thought ive never climbed a fence that high before! Then i woke up at home.
Como ya no hay pandillas en El Salvador hoy hacen documentales de maras en Honduras y Guatemala
Se les terminó el negocio con el salvador a esos carnales
😂
Las pandillas siempre están aquí, lo único es que están recogiditos. 😊
I hope very soon Guatemala gets its own Bukele.
We don’t need a leader like Bukele since we aren’t in the same situation that El Salvador was in. El Salvador was the most violent country in all Latin America And Guatemala isn’t
They need Jesus ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@shirleycruz6035 nobody needs jesus 👎👎
Those poor innocent shop owners and bus drivers
