Cartel Land
Résumés(1)
In the Mexican state of Michoacán, Dr. Jose Mireles, a small-town physician known as “El Doctor,” leads the Autodefensas, a citizen uprising against the violent Knights Templar drug cartel that has wreaked havoc on the region for years. Meanwhile, in Arizona’s Altar Valley – a narrow, 52-mile-long desert corridor known as Cocaine Alley – Tim “Nailer” Foley, an American veteran, heads a small paramilitary group called Arizona Border Recon, whose goal is to stop Mexico’s drug wars from seeping across the US border.

As a documentary, it's interesting in that it combines classic documentary interviews with what actually happened and footage from the events. It's very harsh in places, which I definitely think is a very important aspect of the work. It's truly unpleasant to show things as they are. But overall, I wasn't that interested in the documentary and the subject matter didn't impress me.
