CARTEL LAND

Unwilling to become a victim of Mexico’s notorious drug cartels, a small-town physician organizes a grassroots civilian defense force to combat the danger and instability they’ve wrought. On the other side of the border, a veteran fearful that the violence will cross into America sets up his own paramilitary group. Director Matthew Heineman embeds himself within both vigilante organizations’ ranks to chronicle a war of fascinating, shifting morality. Courtesy of A&E IndieFilms and The Orchard.
