Cartel Land [DVD]

Cartel Land is a gripping and thought-provoking documentary that takes viewers deep into the heart of Mexico's drug wars.

Directed by Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker), this film provides unprecedented access to two modern-day vigilante groups and their shared enemy - the murderous Mexican drug cartels. 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 our border. Through the eyes of these courageous individuals and their respective groups, Cartel Land offers a chilling meditation on the breakdown of order and the blurry line between good and evil.

With unparalleled access and stunning visuals, this film is a must-see for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the drug trade and its devastating impact on communities around the world.
