From rivers filled with dead bodies to a daring escape from kidnappers — Dennis Ortiz’s life reads like a movie, but every word is real.
In this jaw-dropping episode of Indelibly Marked, Dennis takes us deep inside the brutal realities of life in Guatemala, where cartel and MS-13 violence rule the streets. He witnessed his first murder at just 9 years old, saw friends fall into the same deadly lifestyle, and lived through the fallout of his step-grandfather killing a cartel bodyguard.
His mother fought to get him to the United States for safety — but survival here came with its own battles. Bullied, isolated, and heartbroken after losing his great grandmother, Dennis spiraled into 23 years of drug and alcohol abuse. He opens up about selling weed to survive, broken relationships, PTSD, therapy, and even an ayahuasca trip that changed everything.
This is not just a story about danger — it’s about resilience, transformation, and what it takes to escape both the violence outside and the battles within.
