With all of the constant chatter about the drug war here in the United States, particularly around the time of elections, Bernardo Ruiz gives us a far more personal view of it, particularly from south of the border.
There are three stars. Oscar Hagelsieb was a senior Homeland Security officer in El Paso. He spent his career as an undercover agent attempting to stop the ever-increasing violent drug cartels from murdering and "disappearing" Mexican private citizens, as well as those actively involved in the drug trade.
The second major story line involves Sister Consuelo Morales. She is a social worker in Monterrey, Mexico, one of the areas of Mexico that has been hardest hit. She has dedicated her life to helping the families of those that have been murdered or who have disappeared.

Summary | The drug cartels of Mexico have not even been slowed by America's so-called war on drugs. Somehow this very exciting topic could use a jolt of excitement. |
