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.

I thought this was a fricking action movie. The most incredible documentary on cartels and vigilantes in Mexico. Filmed incredibly well too!
