Cameras and witnesses can give crucial testimony about the truth behind a shooting event. Very recently, state police in Mexico has been tied to numerous corruption cases specifically related to the drug war happening around 2010. This documentary film shows a case of this type of corruption happening during a military police raid in Monterrey, Mexico, in which they deliberately murder two private university graduate students. Video footage from university cameras show footage of what really happened during the minutes both students were murdered by the military helping to uncover the truth behind the events.

It will never stop

The corruption and drug war in Mexico apparently will never stop. The documentary is very well made and deals with the story of two innocent students who were murdered by the military soldiers who were chasing some drug traffickers. It is sad to see again the corruption in the police and politics and once again the fact that nobody in high ranking position is accountable for the tragedy.
I feel sorry for the families and for all the innocent people in Mexico who have to suffer because of the lack of decision of politicians to solve once and for all the drug problem which plagues this country.
Awful movie
hperritt26 February 2023
This a terrible movie about a serious subject. It is a slow, slow, slow series of repetitive interviews with family members and very little probing of what actually happened.
The development of the characters of the two victims if superficial, with mothers and aunts simply repeating over an over again, "They were such good boys; they were so excited to go to Tech."
The cinematographer indulges himself with excruciating long shots of vehicles on highways and in tunnels and of clocks ticking.
There is no real suspense, because the set up is dragged out for so long.
The premise for the project was certainly a tragedy, but this "documentary" hardly does justice to it.
