The effects of the Mexican drug war are devastating. While government forces are incapable of stopping the murderous cartels, citizens form vigilante groups to uphold the law themselves. In Cartel Land (2015) director Matthew Heinemann follows civilians who on both sides of the Mexican American border join forces in fighting drug crime. Their goal is clear, but their actions seem morally dubious. Where do we draw the line between good and evil? Q&A with dr. Martijn Oosterbaan (Cultural Anthropology, UU).
