A hidden story of Mexico’s “war on drugs” for me is the military trauma. Soldiers are typically portrayed to us as brave fighters who bottle up their emotions, rather than human beings who can be vulnerable and feel safe to ask for support. Unlike the United States, where military mental health studies, care and reporting are relatively common, Mexico has a lot more work to do when it comes to removing the stigma surrounding mental health issues and treatment. My hope is that Collateral will add a layer of complexity to our understanding of how the violence has touched people’s lives. The pain of civilians is a necessary story, but it is one we are familiar with. The experiences of soldiers are a story that deserves to be told and heard with equal empathy.
