In this Nov. 6, 2013 photo, Doctor Jose Manuel Mireles, leader of his town's self-defense group, pauses during an interview with the Associated Press at his ranch in the town of Tepalcatepec, in the state of Michoacan, Mexico. The documentary Cartel Land, produced and directed by New York-based director Matthew Heineman paired the story of Mireles and his self-defense forces battling drug cartels with the tale of a vigilante north of the border: war veteran Tim Nailer Foley and his Arizona Border Recon. The film opens on July 2, 2015 in Mexico, a day later in New York and and later in other U.S. cities. (AP Photo/Dario Lopez-Mills)
