They represent a pathway out of the ghetto, nurturing a new American dream fueled by an addiction to money, drugs, and violence. From war photographer Shaul Schwarz comes NARCO CULTURA, an explosive look at the drug cartels' pop culture influence on both sides of the border as experienced by an LA narcocorrido singer dreaming of stardom and a Juarez crime scene investigator on the front line of Mexico's Drug War.

An in-depth look on the struggles of the Mexican people. *by W***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2014* If you ever wanted to have an inside look as to why people leave their countries. Narco Cultura is a good start in the multitude of reasons why people flee to America. Notice I said, "flee" not "flock" for there is a difference.Narco Cultura is a documentary that shows you the brutal life the people of Juárez suffer through on a daily basis. It gives you just a small, brutal taste as to why you see so many illegal immigrants in America. It shows you that most of the hispanic people from Central America actually have no interest to move to America.As one of the main characters in this movie tells you. "When I'm in Mexico, I feel more comfortable, more at peace, more like myself. I can speak my language, go wherever I please, and not worry that I'm breaking some laws." This isn't an exact quote, but the gist is obviously that he never wants to leave his home country.However, the gang violence and the atrocities committed by the drug cartels are extinguishing him and his colleagues one by one. To make matters worse, the Mexican people have started to idolize these drug dealers who carry assault rifles and "stick it to the man."There is a lot of death in this movie, a lot of real life death with gruesome depictions of dead bodies, burnt corpses, and a mother screaming over the death of her decapitated son.Yes. Decapitated.You'll also get to see in this film, the other side of the fence. You'll see a Mexican-American trying to make it big as a Narco Cultura singer. Let me just tell you that right off the bat, you're not going to like this guy. He idolizes the violence and is just a punk kid who doesn't know any better. He's a part of the group that's creating this "Narco Cultura" where they want Mexicans to love the music about drug dealers killing the cops and shooting people with AK-47's.What he stands for is despicable and this movie is certainly sad to watch, yet morbidly fascinating. The pacing is good, the cinematography is excellent, the content is gripping, and you may feel your world unexpectedly expanded after watching this.I highly recommend this movie if you can stomach the violence and depression it may inflict upon you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars must watch documentary *by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2014* Originally found it on Netflix.. didn't think much about it and just clicked it to spend time and I gotta say.. it's one of the real gems. added to collection. Compelling narrative follows two separate individuals and through them we get a glimpse of stark reality how drug and its business is affecting the lives.. one who glamourize and another whose sense of duty guides him to do the right but has to perform duties in fear..I'd say it's totally worth it to google the directoor 'Shaul Schwarz' and check out his photography and short film works on his website. Amazing works. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/18900945-narco-cultura](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/18900945-narco-cultura) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
