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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A raw, immersive look at ordinary people fighting back against organized crime from both sides of the Mexican border, where righteous anger collides with the brutal machinery of drug-war economics. The film follows two men driven by different ideologies but united in their futile struggle against forces far larger than themselves.
