creative brief
It's a raging drug war that has turned Phoenix, Arizona into the second kidnapping capital of the world. National Geographic correspondent Lisa Ling embeds with the Phoenix Police Department as they investigate the latest drug-related kidnapping, uncover a cache of $3 million worth of marijuana, and ambush suspects at a ransom drop-off. Then, cross the border and ride along with a photojournalist on his crime beat in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico -- the deadliest city in North America. Hear voices from both sides of the battle, including a former cartel hit man, federal agents, and victims who have survived horrific acts of violence.
