What Cartel Land Is About

A village organisation arming itself against the cartels in Mexico and an American group patrolling the border on their own in Arizona are followed in the same documentary. The documentary presents neither side as heroic; the narrative records what the Mexican organisation becomes over time, and that change becomes its real subject. The footage was taken from inside the fighting. Matthew Heineman directed. It was nominated for an Oscar. A real warning: it contains real armed combat, accounts of torture and images of bodies. This is not a fictional thriller and the footage is real.
