Our film crew has made about 6 trips over the last two years to
Mexico. We are unfortunately very visible and a good target. Much of
our travel have in "hot zones". Despite this, we have never had any
problems. That being said, we also do not film in border towns. Last
trip, it might be worth mentioning however, we did hit a LOT of time
consuming road blocks from the military. They were always very polite.
On another note... El Abra is definitely closed for now. We spent
quite a bit of energy trying to talk the owner into letting us go into
the cave. He reported that they had problems with drug parties mixed
with firearms in the cave. A nearby mining company is also eyeing his
land. As such, he is concerned that the government will take his
property (seizure due to drugs or mining company making a case for
valuable minerals). It's all a bit complicated because technically
the government owns all the caves in Mexico and the land owners are
supposed to provide access... but like most things in Mexico, it is a
bit more involved. Things are changing in Mexico. A lot more fences,
a lot more private ownership issues.
