The Leverton Review

We often think of biases as connected to our political experiences, or preferences. But it is equally true to think of biases as being connected to our culture, our nationality and our language. This documentary tells a convoluted story of kidnapping, revenge and corruption. It is the reason that for a time, the French and the Mexican governments absolutely hated each other. And I had no idea that even happened because I get my news from English language sources. So that aspect of the documentary was a little surprising for me.

Most of these criminals have mental issues, most of them are poor or black or immigrants. It is a quiet indictment of the justice system itself-an interesting watch.
