Cartel Land - A Film About Violence and Self-Defense in Mexico

  • 9 years ago
Ongoing violence by drug cartels and organized crime in Mexico has pushed the country to the bottom of the Global Peace Index. U.S. filmmaker Mathew Heineman has produced a documentary, "Cartel Land", that explores initiatives on the grassroots levels such as the self-defense militias in the state of Michoacan that seek to defend communities against such violence and the role of the Mexican government in dealing with such phenomenon.
