Are the Risks real?

To me, Todd takes way to many chances. That is, IF the scenarios are absolutely real. What really sparked my attention was when he went to Guererro Mexico. Home of the Zetas Narco Gang. These guys are the worst murderers in the world, bar none. It does not seem normal to me that Todd (who would be a great victim for a kidnapping, himself) goes wandering around grounds that would get most people killed in a microsecond. The danger seems to be more important that the story itself. The scene where the Narcos came out of their hideout and charged Todd and his photographer seemed to be very rehearsed and kinda phony. Todd, for a world class traveler did not speak even the tiniest amount of Spanish. That proved to be a huge problem. Because it is so unbelievable, to me, I cant get into it.
