The Most Violent Gang in Central America: The Maras of Guatemala | Gangs & Crime Documentary – Everything Law and Order Blog

They are one of the most notorious, violent gangs in Central America, turning cities into war zones and threatening the authority of the state. Famous for their tattoos and the cruelty of their crimes, the Maras have controlled Guatemala city for more than 20 years. They terrorise locals, trafficking drugs and people and running lucrative sidelines in contract killings, robberies and extortion.

The police are either corrupt or powerless to act and now people have started taking things into their own hands, forming militias and introducing check-points and armed patrols.

Thierry Gayton is one of the few journalists in the world to have filmed the Maras, their lives and their crimes. He also filmed with citizen militias, who themselves sometimes resort to violence. Filmed at great risk over several months, this is an exceptional look at the Maras.

This documentary was produced by PALLAS and directed by Thierry Gaytan. It was first released in 2014.

  1. This what a lot people don't understand, sometimes the only ones who can wipe this people are people with a lot of money or NARCOS because there is no respect for law enforcement. … Unless they work for cartels then they are stronger.

  2. I am from india back in 70. 80 in Bombay there were many gangs but then Bombay police started encounters, all the pussys ran away or killed

  3. This was HILARIOUS. The actors that pretended to be gangsters literally had me in tears. I hope that you'll do more comedy skits like this. 🤣

  4. Those people are doing the right thing. They protect their communities. Don't ever listen to politicians. They've done the right thing. Street justice is better than government justice. I love how the government bullshits it down.

  5. the people are living real hell _and still make 4,5, children = half will live a horror, half will die like gang members _i made one kiddo and that's more then enough for me. 😉 why on earth would i need 5 kids, when i can't provide them a good future _=auto they will suffer…
