In this episode of Rites of Passage, VICE travels down to Sinaloa, Mexico - El Chapo's home turf & the heartland of arguably one of the most powerful cartels in the country, if not the world. There, we follow a pair of local, low-ranking members eager to prove themselves as soldiers and sicarios (hit men) for the Sinaloa cartel. Though they're currently stuck making drug runs, tailing military trucks, & overseeing other petty assignments throughout the city of Culiacán, they'll soon be headed to the mountains of Badiraguato to attend the cartel's underground training camp, where veterans turn hungry young men into willing & able killers.
