Title: Montaña Roja. Foto 6 Artist name: César Rodríguez Collection name: Montaña Roja Edition type: 1/1

Morning mist in the Mountain of Guerrero, in Cochoapa Town.

Montaña Roja is a series of photos about the life in the mountains of the state of Guerrero, in Mexico. Most of these communities grow, harvest and sell poppy to the Mexican cartels, which they later will make opium. Deep in the mountain zone of Guerrero state, with destroyed dirt roads and in some cases without even dirt roads, there are hundreds of people living day by day. There are no jobs, no schools and very few opportunities for the people living in these communities. The series of photos is a wide view of the life around these communities. In some of them the cartels have arrived creating violence and communities had to rise up against them, in others, the life goes on like usual. For them poppy is just a crop that feeds them but it is also threatening their lives.
