On the Ground - De Burgerwacht tegen het Kartel plot

People in Mexico have found a way to protect themselves from the various drug gangs in Mexico. At the risk of their own lives they go out. They barricade the roads and fill their hands with weapons. Thus, they are ready to counterbalance the lawlessness. Who gets the power, the cartels, the vigilantes or the state? In the documentary, filmmaker Alex Tieleman hangs out with a vigilante from the state of Michoacan. On patrols, during training and at recruitment meetings. Ordinary lime and papaya farmers become guerrillas.
