CARTEL LAND - The Rise and Fall of Mexico’s Autodefensas Militia

CARTEL LAND explores the Michoacan drug war in Mexico, and how ‘Autodefensas’ of armed vigilante community groups banded together to expel the Knight’s Templar drug cartel town by town. The armed struggle against the cartels, government, and ultimately, themselves-is captured in electrifying footage and shared by documentary director Matthew Heineman with footage and explanation of the mind-blowing events on the ground, in this highlight from the BYOD interview, hosted by Ondi Timoner.
