Narco-capitalism has significantly modified the rural environments of contemporary Mexico. More than 40,000 acres of Indigenous forest in Michoacán have been appropriated by narco-industries. In the state of Michoacán, where most of the drug war takes place, narco-cartels continue to merge with local police, criminal groups and Indigenous guerrillas. Blending performance with observational approaches and ethnography, this documentary provides a glimpse into Indigenous rural Mexico at the intersection between ecocide, narco-labour and enforced disappearance.
