After years of covering the drug wars in Mexico, award-winning photojournalist Shaul Schwarz makes his first foray into filmmaking with the eye-opening documentary "Narco Cultura." Taking an unflinching look at Mexico's emerging culture of drugs, violence and corruption, the film follows the lives of two subjects: a dedicated police team investigating the brutal drug trade and a rising "Narco-corrido" folk band who are known for their explicit lyrics about high-powered guns and grisly murders (think Mariachi meets Gangsta Rap).
"Narco Cultura," which premiered earlier this year at Sundance Film Festival, where Schwarz was recognized for his gusty (and life-risking) storytelling, will be heading into theaters sometime this fall. In the meantime, check out the film's newly-released trailer, above.
synopsis:
To a growing number of Mexicans and Latinos in the Americas, narco-traffickers have become iconic outlaws, glorified by musicians who praise their new models of fame and success. They represent a pathway out of the ghetto, nurturing a new American dream fueled by an addiction to money, drugs, and violence. From war photographer Shaul Schwarz comes NARCO CULTURA, an explosive look at the drug cartels’ pop culture influence on both sides of the border as experienced by an LA narcocorrido singer dreaming of stardom and a Juarez crime scene investigator on the front line of Mexico’s Drug War.
directed by Shaul Schwarz
release date Fall 2013 (In Theaters)
