An excavation into the past
Based on a piece of information he received almost by chance, Chilean artist Francisco Medina Donoso set out to find the remains of the Palacio de La Moneda, Chile’s presidential palace, bombed on September 11, 1973. This search, which Francisco undertook with a team of archeologists and artists, led him to question the limits of memory in Chile.

How to reduce the harm of fentanyl in Mexico?
While Mexico worries about a possible epidemic of illicit fentanyl use, an opioid that is 50 times more potent than heroin and has already caused thousands of deaths, on the northern border, organizations like Verter and PrevenCasa are emplying harm reduction to help drug users. They give them clean syringes, naloxone to prevent overdoses, and offer safe spaces to use. But harm reduction is much more than this. We traveled to Mexicali and Tijuana to find out what this method means for those at greatest risk.

A journey into the green heart of the planet.
British journalist Dom Phillips had planned a trip to the Yawanawá indigenous community to seek answers to the Amazon crisis. But he never arrived. In June 2022 he was murdered along with indigenist Bruno Pereira. Phillips was documenting stories of resistance and hope in the Brazilian Amazon in the face of Jair Bolsonaro\'s extractivist policies. He was to interview cacique Biraci Nixiwaka, known as Bira, a historic figure in the indigenous movement. With Brazilian journalist Felipe Milanez, the editor of El hilo Eliezer Budasoff, traveled to the Amazon to tell the story of the Yawanawá and to do the interview that Phillips could not.
