Innocence is a luxury that nobody can afford in Amat Escalante’s brutal, shocking drama torn from the blood-drenched headlines of Mexico’s drug wars. Beginning in uncompromising fashion with an execution, we then learn what led to this event. Heli is an honest factory worker who lives with his wife, their baby, his father and his sister. However, the family is gradually drawn in to, and devastated by, drug crime and institutional corruption. Winner of the Best Director prize at Cannes, this harrowing yet hopeful journey into hell contains scenes of torture that many will find distressing. GFF14
