Interesting

Interesting documentary to try to understand why cops in Mexico are corrupted. Maybe watching this one change your point of view, or maybe not.

Personally, I really enjoyed the way the director filmed this one mixing fiction with reality. Also, how difficult is to be a cop in Mexico.

So, overall a good documentary for a Sunday afternoon.
