This Sundance award-winning film is a fearless exposé of the terrifying Mexican drug war and the cartels that operate in and around the Mexico/US border. With astonishing access, it follows two vigilante leaders fighting the power of Mexico's drug gangs on both sides of the border.
Okay yes it is another iPlayer post. But given this film got a UK cinema release only in September this year and iTunes/DVD release last month, all for which I paid for and throughly enjoyed myself then this is quite great for the niche crowd and documentary lovers that it may interest and otherwise may not have seen.

I watched this the other night when it was on Storyville. I'd be terrified living near the Mexican border. You have to watch it to see just how grim it all is. A really good film.

Thanks OP but I suggest adding iPlayer to the title to inform users better

A bit myopic, but quite good. Would like to know more now, from different perspectives.

great documentary. I agree it could have gone deeper but it had to focus on the there and now because of the main focus was the rapid growth of the anti cartel movement.
really enjoyed it especially seeing the other side to the doctor.
