Overview
In the Mexican state of Michoacán, Dr. Jose Mireles, a small-town physician known as “El Doctor,” shepherds a citizen uprising against the Knights Templar, the violent drug cartel that has wreaked havoc on the region for years. Meanwhile, in Arizona’s Altar Valley—a narrow, 52-mile-long desert corridor known as Cocaine Alley—Tim “Nailer” Foley, an American veteran, heads a small paramilitary group called Arizona Border Recon, whose goal is to halt Mexico’s drug wars from seeping across our border.

Viewing Notes
A very sobering look at vigilante justice and the corruption of such in the war against Mexican drug cartels. Mostly focused on the Autodefenses movement in Mexico, but also with some smaller portions focused on the vigilantes that patrol the Arizona/Mexico border.
