Narco Cultura was released in 2013, and while Juarez has experienced a decline in murders, Mexico as a whole is chugging along as a meat grinder where an estimated 200,000 people have been killed since this iteration of violence kicked off in 2006. Documentarians like Schwarz, and others like Matthew Heineman with his oft-superb Cartel Land, are needed to turn those numbers into people instead of distant abstractions unworthy of attention. In a chilling final coda, a cemetery owner points out all the land he’s got cordoned off for expansion, as well as singling out the lavish monuments dead cartel members have erected for themselves. Like the ostentatious Easter Island statues whose production deforested and devastated the island, so do the narcos extol their ‘heroics’ while devastating their homeland. B+
