''Cartel Land'' is a 2015 American documentary film directed by Matthew Heineman about the Mexican Drug War, especially vigilante groups fighting Mexican drug cartels. The film focuses on Tim "Nailer" Foley, the leader of (Arizona Border Recon ), and Dr José Mireles, a Michoacán-based physician who leads the Autodefensas. Heineman won the Best Director Award and Special Jury Award for Cinematography for the film in the U.S. Documentary Competition at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, where the documentary premiered. On February 12, 2015 Orchard Films acquired rights to the film. ==Production== Heineman got the idea for the film after reading about Arizona Border Recon in an article in ''Rolling Stone'' magazine, and then his father sent him a ''Wall Street Journal'' article about José Manuel Mireles and the Autodefensas.〔http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/how-to-tell-a-cartel-story〕 "The minute I read that article, I knew I wanted to create a parallel story of vigilantes on both sides of the border. I wanted to know what happens when government institutions fail and citizens feel like they have to take the law into their own hands."〔 He was inspired by ''The Square'' in the making of the film. Tom Yellin produced the film with Heineman. The film was shot in Michoacán, southwest Mexico and in Arizona.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Drug Resistance )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cartel Land」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
