DESCRIPTION

Juarez, just shy of the United States border. In a hotel room, seen a thousand times in American genre movies, one of the most lucid and chilling testimonies in the history of cinema unfolds. Covering his face with a veil, a man tells the story of his life, a life devoted to crime, which costs thousands of lives in Mexico every year. In great detail, journalist Charles Bowden compiles an intricate report on killing in the name of drugs.
