Kingdom of Shadows

Sister Consuelo discusses how militarized efforts to combat organized crime made the civilian population, and especially young people, vulnerable to being disappeared and tortured by the state with the excuse that they were criminals.

Sister Consuelo discusses the role of her faith in her struggle for justice, followed by images of relatives of the disappeared holding signs pleading for their return.

In Kingdom of Shadows, Emmy-nominated filmmaker Bernardo Ruiz takes an unflinching look at the hard choices and destructive consequences of the U.S.-Mexico drug war.
