La civil (2021)
Despite paying several ransoms, Laura is not returned. When the authorities offer no support in the search, Cielo takes matters into her own hands, turning from a housewife into a vengeful militant. Her relentless search puts her in the crosshairs of cartel members and dubious officials alike... La Civil is a heart-breaking and important look at a country in crisis ruled by narco-violence and corruption.

    • Trivia
      Teodora Mihai met with Miriam Rodriguez, the real-world protagonist of the story in 2015. At first, the film was supposed to be a documentary but it posed too much danger for the crew to be around Ms Rodriguez, who was murdered shortly after they've met.

    La Civil (2021)
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/10

    When her daughter, Laura (Denisse Azpilcueta) is kidnapped, and the authorities in Northern Mexico express to her that they have no intention of helping, Cielo (Arciela Ramírez) must take matters into her own hands.

With time running out, La Civil must become something new, now on a journey of revenge. [more...]
