8 Murders a Day

Filmmaker Charlie Minn reveals how a growing war between two rival drug cartels has plunged the city of Juarez, Mexico, into a lawless town of death and despair. As DEA crackdowns make smuggling contraband into the U.S. increasingly difficult, the demand for drugs and weapons in America continues to increase. As a result, the Juarez cartel and the Sinaloa drug cartel have become locked in a bloody battle for control of the most effective smuggling route — and anyone caught between them is fair game. In speaking with college professors, award-winning reporters, and well-known authors, Minn offers a chilling portrait of the city that has quickly become the murder capitol of the world, and will likely retain the title for years to come., In this eye-opening documentary, filmmaker Charlie Minn examines the bloody conflict between two rival drug cartels in the city of Juarez, Mexico.
