Juana Uribe and Camilo Cano · 2012
The series traces the cartel war as a parallel intelligence theater in which the Colombian state, the DEA, and the sicarios all maintain competing mythologies of righteousness. As in Johnson, covert violence becomes a generational inheritance, leaving children to discover that the official story was always a cover for something stranger and sadder.
