Air date: Apr 22, 2022

Life on the front line of a bloody drug war in Ecuador, where rival drug cartels have taken over the once peaceful city of Guayaquil in a bid to control lucrative new drug routes to Europe and the United States. The Sinaloa and Nueva Generacion organisations have recruited local gangs into their deadly battle to gain exclusive control of the city ports. The Ecuadorian government is keen to show it is taking on the cartels, so reporter Guillermo Galdos joins police Major Stalin Armijo as his unit patrols the deadly streets of Guayaquil.
