Reckoning at the Frontier examines Mexico’s struggle with organized crime through the introspective photographs of
photojournalist Eros Hoagland. Focused on the border cities of Tijuana and Ciudad Juárez, Hoagland travels through
the harsh deserts and urban mazes of northern Mexico. Part journalistic reportage and part artistic exploration,
Reckoning at the Frontier goes beyond typical drug war imagery to reveal a parallel narrative about the price of
complacency, the power of fear, and the consequences of corruption.
