Quinones covers immigration, drug trafficking and gangs as a
reporter for the Los Angeles TImes.
Quinones is also the award winning author of two books: True Tales from another Mexico and
Antonio's Gun & Delfino's Dream.
The books are collections of nonfiction stories Quinones wrote
while living and working as a free lance writer in Mexico.
Instead of writing stories about the official and bureaucratic
Mexico we see on TV, Quinones focuses on "another Mexico," the
regular people without influence on the fringes of Mexico's
paternalistic political system. These are the independently minded
people who dare to live their own lives, start businesses and risk
everything to pursue their dreams in the US.
Reason.tv's Paul Feine sat down with Quinones to talk about
popsicle kings, drag queens, cults, corruption, migration and the
future of Mexico.
Approximately 13 minutes. Produced by Paul Feine and Alex Manning.
Still photography by Sam Quinones.
