Chuchito Nini: The 15-Year-Old Cartel Hitman Nobody Can Explain

Chuchito Nini was fifteen years old when his life ended alongside El R5, also known as El Wicho, head of the Cartel de Los Reyes, in a confrontation with federal forces in Michoacán. That night, he was already a name in the headlines: the teenage nephew of a capo, accused by the media of being his bodyguard and right hand. But almost everything the media told you about him was wrong. In this documentary, I go deep into the side of Chuchito Nini that almost nobody knows: who he really was, his personality, what people who knew him say about him, his love for Anuel AA and narcocorridos, his football days with Chivas, the trips to the palenques, and the night he and his friends bribed their way into a nightclub in Mexico City on their way to the Coca-Cola Flow Fest. I also include little-known details and rare anecdotes that are never told. And then comes the part where his story stops being an isolated case: the number of young men recruited by organized crime every year in Mexico, the "pollitos de colores," and the question nobody wants to answer, who are the adults that make it possible for a kid that age to end up in that place. Because they don't get there alone. They never get there alone. Music: Tension Mode - Soundrisemusic
