KINGDOM OF SHADOWS
Bernardo Ruiz - United States - 2015
Kingdom of Shadows follows three people grappling with the hard choices and destructive consequences of the US -Mexico "drug war." Filmmaker Bernardo Ruiz weaves together the seemingly disconnected stories of an activist nun in deeply scarred Monterrey, Mexico, a US Federal agent on the border, and a former Texas smuggler to reveal the human side of an often-misunderstood conflict that has resulted in the "disappearance" of more than 23, 000 people in Mexico.
