Cartel Land 2015

Cartel Land (2015) is a gripping, Academy Award-nominated documentary directed by Matthew Heineman.

The film offers a raw, dangerous look at the Mexican Drug War from both sides of the border. It embeds with two modern vigilante groups: the Autodefensas, a citizen militia in Michoacán, Mexico, led by Dr. José Mireles to fight back against the brutal Knights Templar cartel, and Arizona Border Recon, a small paramilitary group led by Tim "Nailed It" Foley, aiming to stop the drug war from crossing into the US.

It is a gritty, intense exploration of broken systems, vigilante justice, and the blurred lines between good and evil.
